        Anyone feel like dropping a single Yes on https://musicbrainz.org/edit/65326012 ?
      • reosarevok
        Drop that yes!
      • Done, enjoy your 40 min wait :p

        I thought, auto-editors can do it by themselves...
      • Freso
        I mean, 40 minutes is a lot less than 3 days. :)
      • xplt: Not destructive edits.
      • (Which merges are.)
      • xplt
        Then... Is there any point in gaining auto-editor flag nowadays?
      • Freso
        kepstin: Back when I was toying around with Linux on floppy disks (before I switched), there was one "security" focused one I tried which had a small program that allowed you to play music by converting the audio to images on your monitor which you could then pick up on a standard FM receiving radio and listen to.
      • It was interesting.
      • (And also a reminder that just because someone can’t physically see the light from your monitor doesn’t mean they can’t "see" your monitor.)
      • xplt: I mean, we’ve been working on making the autoeditor flag less significant for quite some time.
      • There are still some things that autoeditors can push through faster than others though.
      • (Luckily, modern monitor emit far less radiation/radio waves than old CRT ones, so the range for "listening in" is much reduced these days.)
      • xplt
        Yeah :)
      • reosarevok
        xplt: there's still a fair amount of things that can be done faster (such as fixing issues in releases added by others)
      • xplt
        Ah, I see
      • reosarevok
        Or, for classical, changing all the recording credits
      • A lot of that should probably be made available to others without vote, but not before we have some sort of "UNDO THIS!" button

      • CatQuest would love a "UNDO THIS!" button for own edits, like accidentally adding te wron relationship to 20+ recordings for example
      • Fair too :)
      • elomatreb[m]
        Releases added with no external links and the edit note consisting only of "added" :(
      • reosarevok
        Well, it's added! :D
      • (if it's recent, do leave a note asking for details)
      • elomatreb[m]
        More than a year ago, by a now-inactive editor. But I managed to find a source

        for MB it would be as on cover but for my own music library, how would you spell "Smif N Wessun" ?
      • Smif-n-Wessun, Smif N Wessun, Smif ’n’ Wessun ?
      • the last one makes more sense to me
      • CatQuest
        well since it's *your* library I'd go with what *you'd* find the most sensical
      • Lotheric
        but I want your opinion !
      • :)
      • I just don't want 3-4 artists variations in my library because their name is spelled inconsistently across albums
      • elomatreb[m]
        insert rant about music players still not supporting MBID tags
      • Lotheric
        it would be nice wouldn't it ?
      • :)
      • I'm surprised my car support flac
      • elomatreb[m]
        I've been working on an MPD client for a while now that supports at least some basic MBID functionality (primarily disambiguating artists, but also stuff like proper multiple artists per track)
      • I first started out writing a full music player from scratch but that was way too much trouble

        "accidentally"
      • rdswift
        <reosarevok> ...but not before we have some sort of "UNDO THIS!" button. Something like the way things are handled using Git would be neat. I have no idea how it could be implemented. Somehow I don't think it would be scalable to accommodate all the MB data.
      • The database would need to maintain a "diff" for each edit, in order to allow any sort of undo or rollback.
      • CatQuest
        SothoTalKer: yea, actually, sometimes I make mistakes fancy that! >:|
      • ...why do you gotta be like that :(
      • elomatreb[m]
        For everything but destructive edits (i.e. merges and deletes) a "Generate undo edit" button shouldn't need any more information than what we already have in the edit history view
      • SothoTalKer
        CatQuest: don't take it personally, please. i personally value what you do :)
      • CatQuest
        uh huh.
      • SothoTalKer: I never know whne you're serious and when you're bullshitting
      • SothoTalKer
        ye, its hard to tell. sometimes i don't even know it myself o,o

        I don't see the green send to picard button on release pages, is it hidden?
      • SothoTalKer
        you need to connect to port 8000 i think?
      • zentropy
        restarted picard
      • should I restart the browser?
      • SothoTalKer
        you just need to add ?tport=8000 to the url
      • zentropy
        that worked
      • never had to do that before
      • SothoTalKer
        if you open a link from within picard it should add it automatically
      • zentropy
        after adding ?tport=8000 to one tab, the green button appeared on both tabs, including the tab without ?tport=8000
      • SothoTalKer
        it likely sets a cookie, i forgot how it works ^^
      • zentropy
