reosarevok: Not exactly following them but often noticed them doing simple fixes that shouldn't require further review, like release script and language disentangling artists, replacing wiki links by wikidata, etc.

That makes me feel slightly better about my edit count ;)
Also got mails for found seconders and final status.

Hmm. Wonder if that was a real returning officer

He would've had to fake the headers also. They look genuine to me. Final mail was sent less than minute after election concluded.

reosarevok: Interested in a ticket or was it decided to leave it broken? :D

We have tickets

It's just it requires making it automated via discourse API or whatnot and nobody ever tried hard enough to figure it out

(it used to be automated via the autoeditors mailing list, which is now gone)

Same here, so I'll vote yes, but I'll let someone with more experience with them second :)

VxJasonxV: Hi! Thanks for your reply on the a-tisket thread. I'm making slow progress on my ruby client for MB, Deezer, Spotify etc. Hopefully I might have something we can collaborate on in the not *too* distant future.

More CD's that rip fast and some slow. Somebody here suggested it could be some kind of copy protection. I researched that and copy protection on CD's was somewhat rare and died out. I have a CD with lots of scratches and it is ripping really fast with abcde / cdparanoid, so it isn't scratches causing it. I've had perfect CD's rip slow.

Also, has anyone done an ABX on vorbis q3? I'm encoding with q4, but didn't do an abx test with q3 which is the default setting for oggenc.

I haven't used it, but there is a simple ABX tool available on linux called "ABX" surprisingly. No need for foobar2000 or other other app with plugin I think.

Manufacturing differences making some discs slower / more faulty to read?

some CDs advertised as CDs are actually CDRs - with all the CDRs I have, they are slower, possibly because they don't last as long as glass-mastered CDs

small labels often just produce them on demand as it's cheaper than a full production run that might take years to sell out

Here's a fun one, the release date on Deezer/Spotify/iTunes is 2013-06-09 but on Beatport/Bandcamp it's 2013-09-06. The track order on Deezer/Spotify/iTunes is different to Beatport/Bandcamp, but the ISRCs are in the Beatport/Bandcamp ordering.
2021-01-29 02912, 2021
evelyn
are the tracks actually ordered differently or is it just the titles that are different/wrong?
2021-01-29 02930, 2021

They're definitely ordered differently.

I've compared them, and the lengths match.

I have found it productive to email the artist on Bandcamp and ask, usually they respond pretty well

I guess someone screwed up the DDEX entry.

chaban: do you know if Beatport uses a difference source to Spotify/Deezer/iTunes etc?
