But here's the thing. I'm doing this one as a practice so I can figure out whether or not I understand the concept correctly. I have a few dozen merges I need to do once I'v e convinced myself I know what I'm doing.

though I'm not 100% sure that'd apply the merge instantly

reosarevok, you've worked with this release before, mind voting on it?

Keeping a pile of merge plates spinning in the air when you can't see what you've done is awfully hard to keep tabs on.

Well, that's true, but with merges being one of the more destructive edit forms (they're pretty much the closest thing to deleting an MBID), this system is pretty important for preventing malicious and low-quality edits

That sounds like a really good idea :D

Though everything could break when an edit others build upon isn't approved after all

Hmm, generally I don't see the issue of working with the release you're merging into, after all your merge is not actually changing that one, is it?

I don't think you'd be changing anything, just your view of what you think you're looking at.

hello

hey

i am trying to read some tags from an mp3 file using mutagen

but i am kind of lost as to which tags are which :/

i need the recording id and track id

CardinalWolseley, I opened an issue for that feature (MBS-9265), feel free to comment on it or vote for it

MBS-9265: Preview of an entity with all open edits applied https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9265

the recording id seems to be this?: UFID(owner='http://musicbrainz.org', data=b'b00a2b97-53f1-485a-9121-1fe76b55e651'),

stavros, where are you getting that data from, mp3 tags?

yes

tagged with picard

well, that's a valid recording https://musicbrainz.org/recording/b00a2b97-53f1...

yes, that's why i guessed that's the id

but the key name seems weird

the track ID should be an ID3 tag called MusicBrainz Release Track

TXXX(encoding=<Encoding.UTF16: 1>, desc='MusicBrainz Release Track Id', text=['e0777649-9dbb-4948-b72b-ba60c3aa2b74'])

that one? i didn't manage to find that uuid on the site

yep

tracks don't have their own entity pages, that's probably why you weren't able to find it

oh, i see

yes, i was just substituting it in the url

thank you

you're welcome :D

do you mind if I ask what you're working on?

Leo_Verto: You're asking me what I'm working on?...

no, I was asking stavros :P

:)

that's the thing about IRC, you end up having multiple conversations going on at the same time

Yup
