Is there a way to use MB genre as an array with `multi` scripting functions? I can only seem to be able to use it as a string so doing joins duplicates entries

Rexodys[m], you should be able to convert the string to a multi using the $setmulti() function. https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/function...

Ahhhh! Thanks!

Hey folks is there any pictorial representation of MusicBrainz DB like we have for BookBrainz https://github.com/bookbrainz/bookbrainz-site/b...

akashgp09, have a look at https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Databas... and see if that's what you're after.

Got another question: I have some music that I tagged with countries or other custom genres. Right now when I import them it get replaced with MB genres, is there a way to merge them instead of replacing them? ie merge current genre with new MB genres from the db?

Oh found it , finally (I think)

Oh no RIP, that prevents my scripts to write to that tag too :/

Updating beta

thanks rdswift, that will help : )

Beta updated

sylvhem: I'm not sure, could be the artist wants it allcaps for a reason

on their site is it written in allcaps?

it *might* be artist intent after all

"RIOT" is a pretty "all caps" kinda word after al

Rexodys[m]: that (adding, not replacing) genre tag seems like a useful feature though. maybe you can put in a ticket on jira under "picard" asking for such a feature?

(it could be a ticketbox like "add to genre-tag don't over-write) f.ex.

PICARD-2141: AcousticBrainz Mood-Genre conflicts with MusicBrainz genre

PICARD-2054: Improved Genre / Mood / BPM support

Hey guys

Is an "extended mix" considered an Edit in terms of Recording-Recording relationships?

Funky looking! https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-2160

PICARD-2160: Dark Mode switching does not change list elements leading to mix of light and dark mode.

srxl: I would say yes

replacing all my copymerge with setmulti works but I have a load of duplicates 😶

Rexodys[m], you might have to create a new (temporary) multi that is empty, then use $foreach(0 to iterate through all the values in your multi (with dupes) and if not $inmulti() your new multi, then add it.

*foreach()*

Sounds like we might benefit from a new $uniquemulti() function. Care to add a ticket?

Something like $set(_tmp,)$foreach(%genres_with_dupes%,$if($in(%_tmp%,|%_loop_value%|),,$set(_tmp,%_tmp%|%_loop_value%|; )))$set(_tmp,$replace(%_tmp%,|,)$setmulti(unique_genres,%_tmp%)

Untested code off the the top of my head.

Rexodys[m], ^^ might do what you want.
