phew. all the crappy stuff added :D

Hey, I don't think Picard's adding all the files in a directory. Is there any way I can make it so it does? Also, sometimes files get error icons in the client. What's that about?

Corrupted files or something

Ram-: Try asking on Discourse. I think there's a thread about something like that.

hey, I have a release where I know the recording date, and I've added it, see: https://musicbrainz.org/release/ef81d279-d87f-4...

is there any way to get the recording date or year (1950) in the tags?

afaict the recording was 1950, the earliest release I can find is 1965 (but there are probably also earlier ones)

zas, samj1912: ^

right now the period is added to the "recorded at" date field, maybe it needs to be with the performer?

I just copied it to all of them :)

Fixing it a bit more to follow the classical guidelines while at it

what did I do wrong?

Well, as per the cover, it should be My Country :) Then, each track should start with "My Country: " too since they're part of the larger work (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Classical/Tra...)

The artists should be separated differently - semicolon after the composer, and comma between the performers (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Classical/Rel...)

And I changed the recording artists to remove Smetana from there, since they should be (ideally) performer only (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Classical/Rec...)

None of which is too bad, really - the most important stuff is the relationships and those were there :)

reosarevok: ah, thank you

how are you so fast? :P

reosarevok: the release group should stay as "Má Vlast" though, since that is the original title and language of both performers and original author, right?

Well, it should probably follow the title of the earliest release (which this being a Supraphon recording, is probably in Czech) but since we don't have it yet, it makes sense to follow the release we do have for now

these are from the same original recordings, so I've changed the group title back to ma vlast

ARG I am so anoyed at american villages

literally the real paris is the 9th! on the list

why cant we fix this asap

it'd be great if labels employed people that added all the release infos to musicbrainz :D

if it was people already familiar with musicbrainz. yea

the alternative.. has proved not so good

mueslo: "Má vlast" I think (Czech capitalises differently from English)

but I'm guessing many labels don't actually have their data as well-structured as musicbrainz, so it'd all have to be done manually

The last track is Schumann's Carnival, performed by a different pianist for each movement, but still all in one track

What a mess

ugh

oh my

reosarevok: by the way, thank you very much for your help today and yesterday

No problem :)

hey reo, can you use your fancy script that turns ar's into artist credits on https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/6f5733a6-c... ?

also is https://beta.musicbrainz.org/work/abfb4c0d-9edd... for hapr *and* orchestra ?

perhaps change the work name to "1977 Danse sacrée et danse profane pour harpe et orchestre à cordes" ?

I've also got sic épigrapes here for orcestra so not 4 pianoes

i tikn it's a valid new arrangemnt tho...

how do i find iut that

find out that

reosarevok

i found https://scholarship.rice.edu/handle/1911/60159?...

I wouldn't bother entering the French name for the instrument in "credited as" - I'd only use it for stuff where it was credited in some weird way. But I guess it isn't wrong or anything

I'm running the script now

i deff wanna do it for the name. since how else are peopel to know it's not wrong?

i'm still only 98% sure that "alto" is "viola"

haha!
