        no, that is simply not the purpose of the CD ID
      • d33cee
        that MB has no info about track length+offset for non-CD releases -- or am I misunderstanding?
      • Yaniel
        what would be the offset for a downloaded file
      • SothoTalKer
        track length is put in by users for non cd releases based on information from the cover/booklet or from what is displayed in a player/info window from a digital file
      • Yaniel
        the CD ID is mostly for identifying the disc when ripping it so your ripper can get the right metadata

        offset information for non-CD releases is not existant. well, you can calculate the offset from the length of the previous tracks. :)
      • d33cee
        Yaniel: it makes sense as long as there is a single version, though. Not every album has 20 different releases
      • SothoTalKer
        but the info is only exact to whatever value people put in for track length
      • as TOCs from CDs go down to the milliseconds in accuracy, you can have releases with slightly different TOCs and therefore disc ids :)
      • d33cee: how accurate do you need the data to be?
      • d33cee
        SothoTalKer: Not too, because I'll be putting it into a playlist where I can easily tweak the values if it turns out to cut off tracks.
      • SothoTalKer
        if its for CDs the cuetools db is likely the best source, at that gets filled whenever people use a modern ripper
      • it currently has close to 5.4 million different Disc IDs in it
      • but i get the occasional disc which is not in there :P
      • d33cee
        ah, I guess that's a separate tool/project?
      • let's see if they have a REST api too..

      • SothoTalKer
        there is something like that, yes
      • i dont know how good it is. definitely more limited than what the MB webservice is
      • musicbrainz has also close to 300000 CD "stubs", which is basically just TOC information, where there is no release or the TOC information has not been added to a release yet: musicbrainz.org/cdstub/browse
      • many of those where imported from cdbaby
      • d33cee
        oh, they have titles - neat!
      • a lot of French titles on here.

        Votes please: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/69382303 Editor apparently never did multi-disc stuff before

      • This is strange. Shouldn't this edit have been applied already due to Yes votes? https://musicbrainz.org/edit/68713771 The only No vote was changed to Yes more than 1 hour ago.
      • This edit needs 2 more votes: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/69342460

        Even though the no vote was changed, it looks like the delay is still 72 hours according to https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Introduction_to_Voting because there isn't anything there about canceling the delay.

        IIRC I've seen other edits which had No vote before apply within 1 hour after it was changed.

        what % of releases don't have dates?
      • in Picard, what's the keyboard shortcut to adding a date?
      • alt-shift-A goes to edit ta mode
      • then I type "Date"
      • then how do I proceed with keyboard only?
      • shivam-kapila has quit
      • or if the date edit is entered into MB web first, how long before the green tagger button will include the updated date to picard?
      • looks like about a minute or so
