Sometimes holding onto emails for eleven years comes in handy.

It's not everyday than an artist has a signature hot chocolate https://store.mannheimsteamroller.com/collectio...

Hello there

I'm trying to add a parution group for an album of scottish country dancing

We have this specific database only for scottish, with entries like that: https://my.strathspey.org/dd/album/328/

I would like to add that link as an "external link" for my parution group. I believe it makes sense

However, I don't know in which category I should put it. I would like to put it under "other databases", but the website tells me that my link isn't well formatted to go in there

Where should I put it?

hi Niols

If the database has a good amount of info, you should submit a JIRA ticket to have it whitelisted on MusicBrainz (and auto-linked)

here's a ticket I made for a database of music from Quebec (Canada)

STYLE-358: Add Québec Info Musique to the "other Database Whitelist"

as an example

Here's some more info : https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Other_Databases_Rel...

Oh. That's interesting

Isn't this particular database too specific for MusicBrainz?

naah I don't think so

anyway, our style leader would decide (reosarevok ping!)

:)

btw

;)

It's probably fine, please add a ticket, it's late, I'm off to sleep for tonight :p

wow, such laziness :D

What? No! If I open a ticket, I want it solved right away :3

not you :-)

haha

this site looks very nice

813 entries of scottish only albums. wow :3

Hehe, yes, it's very complete

You have the albums, with the musics associated with the various tunes that they include

It's also linked to the dance, with videos if there are some, description of the dances…

For us dancers, it's really awesome

sounds neat :D

anything about instruments?

Err… good question actually

You do have the artists, but some of them may play different instruments different albums

Well done! You found something that is not in the database ^^

:P

well now you know how to improve it :D

CatQuest, the inserting cat :-)

hah

InstrumentQuest, the inserting cat :D

CatInsertorz

wel I dunno if i woudl be a decepticon or not...

certainly a deception though

:p

glints* dammit

time to schleep

I can't upload a pdf booklet to CAA but it works with jpg... bug or CAA doing its thing?

>.<

Niols, very nice! Thanks!

I mean, as far as too specific, we have sites like irishtune.info.

Oh!

Well, if you have irish tunes, you'd better take the scottish ones too

Definitely.

CatQuest: If you want, you can add every scottish player as a pianist. You'll be wrong less than half of the time!

By the way, if I want more than opening an issue, can I add the database myself?

Better to make them all fiddlers. That'd be cooler.

But what would be scottish fiddlers without a good pianist? :o

The whitelist is maintained by staff, so unfortunately there's no way to add it without creating a ticket and waiting.

But I guess there is a piece of code somewhere that grabs data from these databases? Like the illustration from Amazon?

Lotheric: I had this issue with some pdf's downloaded from decca or grappa or something, i fixed it by saving the pdf with a diff quartz filter "create generic PDFX-3 document" (this on a mac)

(btw, is that possible to do more, and to pull the track list from Amazon?)

maybe try something like saving the pdf again on your platform?

There are possibly userscripts for importing from Amazon. I'm not sure.

ther is. it's non.funct tho

same with itunes ones

they are broekened

The iTunes import script (dufferzafar's version) seems to be finicky as to whether it wants to work or not.

I've had mixed luck with it recently.

I guess it shouldn't be too hard to write one myself

I'd just have to learn about MB's API and SCDB's one

unhappyface, so many descriptive images on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oval_spinet are not in commons (but could possibly be moved acording to some bot on the image pages)

If a place is still open, but is no longer a music venue, should it be marked as ended?

NOt sure that I would mark it as ended, if it is still the same name. But an annotation might be an idea.

Hmm. No annotations for Places.

I thought that just after I entered the comment.... My only problem was be it might re-open as music venue again.
