hmm. I'm making some files for testing player support for replaygain tags, and I could use a music track for it - any suggestions?

ideally something CC-BY or CC-BY-SA, where it's pretty easy to tell if the loudness changes

(also ideally available in a lossless format)

well, i think i found something that'll work, but if anyone has any ideas, still tell me. Looking for something with a neat 5-10s riff that has roughly constant loudness.

kepstin, does CC-BY-ND work for you?

no, because I need to make some clips and do volume changes on the audio :/

http://opsound.org/ maybe? though I haven't figured out where to actually listen to tracks on that site

kepstin: you're making a player or just testing another one ?

the idea is to make a set of files with different formats and different versions/variations on replaygain tags to help people test players

cool

I think I'm gonna go with https://brokeforfree.bandcamp.com/track/summer-... for now :)

I was hoping you'd say yes, I'm making this player that works on MB database : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5215054/mzq...

^____^

heh

https://www.kepstin.ca/projects/riker/ still has the state of that project - quite thoroughly dead :/

aww

just as dead as https://soundcloud.com/wearecc then :D

still there was talks about an MB player at a summit once... is that idea dead and in the grave ?

I really like that mockup though :P https://github.com/kepstin/riker/wiki/GUI-Mockups

Lotheric: you using a local mirror of the mb database for that?

I don't have a mirror, I just bookmarked the url when someone pasted it in the IRC channel :)(

my plan was to build the db based on picard tags and (optionally, possibly with support for polling/updating) webservice queries to get more info

oh, i misinterpreted your statement

I think someone in here was working on that or it was just a mockup I don't know

hmm, that reminds me, i need to fix the search on http://mbjs.kepstin.ca/

I think the actual searching is working, it's just not rendering the results :/

kind of funny, one of my favourite things to come out of the mbjs stuff was my 'no cover art' placeholder image: http://mbjs.kepstin.ca/images/missingart.png :)

never heard of that before

it's a C preprocessor for the gobject system (used by gnome, gtk)

gives you a sort of C#-like object syntax

Anyone else than me has noticed empty release editors quite often ?

Having to reload

happened to me quite a few times before christmas but not lately

screen capture at https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9190

It still hapens to me… I am using non‐beta. Are you using beta ?

Oh great, the problem has been identified ! https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBH-463

by chirlu  :)

chirlu ftw!

Yeah, it’s just that noone is here currently who could correct it.

jesus2099 me 2

SothoTalKer: so it can happen randomly as chirlu says, one of the JS file copies (it seems files are mirrored or something) is corrupt… if when we load, our page gets this one, the release editor doesn’t load.

it’s why it works when reloading

(or not)

i just close and reopen and the editor shows up

does anyone have sun and moon yet?

:)

haven't seen empty RE

empty site

jesus2099: i got a blank site sometimes when I use the discogs importer. maybe related, maybe not

CatQuest: I don’t have a portable console, only TV consoles. :)

do you have TV consoles as well ?

yea

I only have one network console (we could see each others): PS3

heh I only have nintendo ones

and several non‐networkd consoles but we couldn’t “see” each others. ;)

alas we're incompatible

Ach… I have the SUPER FAMICOM the MINI NES ;)

and the

no network

jesus2099: at the end of all your sentences I see a lego block (UTF-16? character I assume)

what font would I need to see it ? or what encoding ?

it bugs me hehe

your block says 202F, that’s it ! U+202F → NO-BREAK SPACE ;)

sorry, it’s my modified “keyboard”…

how come it doesn't show... I'm using Google's Noto Mono 11 (which should cover most unicode

)

(narrow)

*narrow* no-break space

may be more rarely covered. ;)

bleh, you just want to be special, admit it!

:)

it’s a weird obsession

hey not that weird, actually:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_des_caractè... says « Le caractère U+202F est une espace de chasse fixe (et fine), similaire au caractère U+2009 mais insécable ; il correspond à l’espace fine insécable utilisée en typographie française traditionnelle autour de certaines ponctuations, et est normalement préférable à l’espace insécable U+00A0 qui est similaire, mais est souvent trop large. 

I’m a traditionalist

intéressant

Tu m’étonnes, John !

(maybe it’s me who typed « this character is the best » on wikipedia !)

I'm so used to MusicBrainz now that in real life I use the real apostrophe when I type instead of the typewriter one lol

me too, oh yes, that’s right ! Now that you say it, MB is the reason I made a modified key mapping on my keyboard and that I have all those “curly stuff”

curly is life!

BTW about your font, I think I’m using the webchat.freenode.net for IRC and this is in Opera, and Opera is configured with I don’t know what font but each hole in the font, it searches for another font, I guess…

I'm using Hexchat for windows

1-2, 1-2 mic check

say something jesus

:)

hello Lotheric-test !

(I’m in Opera 12)

it works in Opera 41

:)

maybe I'll ditch Hexchat hehe
