I just submitted an edit to this artist, but it doesn't seem to show up https://musicbrainz.org/artist/65882a50-0482-4d...

It seems like almost all information I entered got lost

Is it just me dont seeing it or did something go wrong.

Hi bruce_r . Looking at the first handful of edits, you got it mostly correct, but the direction is wrong.

That is, you've said "this band is a member of this person" rather than the other way around.

:(

Gonna correct it then

You can see how they were applied on the "relationships" tab, e.g. https://musicbrainz.org/artist/65882a50-0482-4d...

ok thx

if you go to https://musicbrainz.org/artist/65882a50-0482-4d... (and you're logged in), you can edit the relationships from there.

yeah, sorry

nevermind sent accidentally the message

Lotheric_: If you want to be really geeky about what drive to get, check http://www.daefeatures.co.uk/

I.e., more specifically, you may want one of these: http://www.daefeatures.co.uk/search?htoa=Yes&am...

[23:06] * Lotheric argues that "world music" is not a genre but a dump for genre you can't categorize with genres you know :p

this forever. I agree totally

I am also trying to findout what those *are* called by the uh, people that make it. so we have filmi-sangeet instead of "bollywoodmusic" or whatever

(I think the same about "soundtrack" and "classical" too btw)

so, reosarevok: since we actually have some people from india here, we can pick their brainz about various genres of indi-music

how cool would it be if we can end up "educating" people about what the "correct" genre-name is like that? like how we've done with tags for music (ie I'm thinking about Weird al songs and that Rabbit Joint zelda thing)

CatQuest: I was at a "world music" concert on Tuesday, which was basically just African reggae (afro-reggae?), electric afro-pop/rock-ish one-man band (with loop pedals etc., there's probably a more specific term for this 😂), an Indian (Assam) hip hop/rock band, and a Colombian… band. They played a bunch of different "latin" things, some salsa, some "kizomba" (probably not kizomba, since it wasn't in Portuguese and not from Angola, but same

rhythm), ….

So, yeah, most of the time, "world" music is just pop, rock, reggae, hip hop, soul, …, with influences from whatever musical tradition the given musician(s) grew up with.

Which is no different from "western music".

Freso: cool site... bookmarked

Freso: I never understood exactly why cache is problematic though

Lotheric: Because: if the first read reads a sector wrong, the read will be cached so 2nd/subsequent reads—used for verifying that the 1st read was correct—will get the cached data, essentially making the verification worthless.

For "normal" CD-DA play, this is not an issue and the caching is good, as it allows the disk to spin less—but for bit-perfect ripping (e.g., what whipper and EAC do), it does matter.

Hi abhi-ohri :)

Hi Freso

Freso, Is the concert you are going to added to MusicBrainz or can I add it?

Lotheric: i suggest getting an older plextor from that list

Lotheric: the best drives for accurately ripping are the 704, 708, 712, 716, 755 and 760

all have caching, but this can defeated with a FUA command

SothoTalKer: My current one is a LITE-ON, pretty satisfied with it (but it's now 8 years old) heheonce my PC blow up I'm going to shop a new one and get a new optical drive as well

My quad-core i7 (1st gen) is still pretty snappy for my use :)

6GB ram

hehe

I never thought I'd keep it this long honestly

well, caching is not an issue for decent rippers, it only makes the process slower
