lol

I hope I interpreted this right https://musicbrainz.org/edit/49974428

Having a hard time figuring out how pseudonyms work on musicbrainz. If the artist isn't trying to hide who they are, can I just make it an alias?

I'm adding an artist entry for https://soundcloud.com/ryan-cc/, who makes instrumentals under one name, but sings using another. Since they have the other name in their soundcloud name, could I keep it to one artist entry?

portlean, not sure really. If it was me I would have Ryan C. with a disambig of Freddie Dredd and then put an alias for Freddie Dredd but I am not sure that is right

That's what I was thinking, since it seems like ryan c is his main focus

it can always be changed later if others have different ideas

hi hibiscuskazeneko compliments of the season to you

is there a way to do a lookup with acousticid / picard using just a part of a track? seems to always want the duration, and fails to return a proper result without a duration close to what it's expecting, even with correct fingerprints

thank you Major_Lurker

notdaniel, I don quite get what you are trying to do?

don´t

notdaniel: You might want to ask in #metabrainz or at https://community.metabrainz.org/

he wants to match a song that doesn't match?

part of a song?

and he use a just part of the track list?

my use-case currently is identifying tracks in an edm set

so each track is not complete

but should be fingerprintable nonetheless because most of it is there

length of track you are dealing with?

acoustid is picky

yeah i am noticing that

i mean, it varies depending on the mix, but maybe the original track is 7min but only 4-5 is played in the mix

easily enough to determine the track via fingerprint but bizarrely acousticid wont return a result even if the fingerprints are a total match if the duration isnt correct

or seemingly withhin like 10% or so of what it's expecting

I would try what hibiscuskazeneko suggested

will do

i dont think its possible

You may have to wait for a reply though

That's why I suggested Discourse

yeah ill give it a shot

It's not instantaneous like IRC; you can post a topic and people can easily see it later

im mostly attempting to avoid rolling my own fingerprinting thing for this purpose but still getting the 'shazam'-esque ability to fingerprint from just a small chunk of the track

hah yeah i am familiar with forums :P and am in no rush

cool, yeah found the same answer on discourse. looks like chromaprint might be the way to go

ok so hos does this https://musicbrainz.org/recording/a15ead72-b49e... happen?

hos = how

Hi, trying to add a link to an artist's profile: https://releska.wordpress.com/

Since it's on Wordpress, I'm not sure whether to classify it as a blog or official homepage.

I would go blog...

Ah okay, wasn't sure since the contents of the website didn't seem like a blog.

It is a strange one but it does not contain much info about the artist, more what he does.

Hello. I'm doing a task concerning adding a classical release. The tracklist of the release is somehow grouped into threes and fours as can be found here: https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/dc.asp?dc=D_... . How do I fill in the track numbers and titles? In groups? Should I go on with it the way it is provided there?

It concerns a task for Google Code-In

hi PROTechThor !

for this. the 1st track should be

Sonata in F major, Op 57:

Allegro, ma non troppo

oi da

track 2 and 3 also has sonata in f major etc prepended

for track 4 to 7 you prepend Four Romantic Pieces, Op 75

and so on

Sonata in F major, Op 57: Allegro, ma non troppo

one line

I would also suggest askign reosarevok or Major_Lurker our biggest editors of classical :D

PROTechThor: oh, nice, Hyperion :) That means you have the entire booklet, so: take https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/notes/120510... and use the titles from there

You should prepend the work titles as KassOtsimine mentioned

So, "Sonata in F major for Violin & Piano, op. 57: I. Allegro, ma non troppo"

seems to be no movement numbers tho

On the booklet? There are

doh, i didn't look that

(lowercase major and op. because of https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Classical/Lan... btw)

right 👍

Major_Lurker: I don't get whats wrong with the new world symphany recording

sorry, symphony*
