Hmm does an audiobook or story tellers need to have their release type as Other? https://beta.musicbrainz.org/artist/2690e042-93...

Its mixed up here

Hi2all. Is someone with userscript knowledge online here?

Ok, anyway i adressed my question to original author, just hoped may be someone could help me here too. Question was about code line: "target: credit.artist". I suppose here i can choose artist type (writer, composer, etc.), but i dont get how.

Darkloke: I think right now it doesn't choose anything - it just selects the default

Assuming you're talking of https://github.com/loujine/musicbrainz-scripts/...

I'm sure there's a way of selecting composer, though. If you have the dialog open, you can probably change the value of the select element

Play with it a bit, see what the value should be with inspecting the select dropdown on MB I guess

Thanks, reosarevok. The problem here is that i dunno MB functions, classes and etc. which used in the script, so i have no idea how to address them. :(

AcousticBrainz Extractor doesnt work anymore? Everytime "Submitted 0 feature file(s)" for albums, which dont have acouticbrainz data.

hi

Darkloke: I answered on the forum but let's continue the discussion here if you have more questions

Loujine, no problems. You have already answered me at the forum. I'll try soon to check your solution.

in hinsight, loading 20+ 3kx1x coverart freshly scanned into CAA tab miiight have been a mistake

Do we really have zero documentation for the edit search?

Seems so... I better write some

:o

painstakingly put a few tens of releases up on musicbrainz several years ago, never could get most of my music tagged properly. just used beets with mb auto-import, now a strong majority of my library is satisfactory. mpd + beets + mb, the dream is real thanks community members

Yay

Well, not zero, we had Oh, ok, we had http://localhost:5000/doc/How_to_Search_for_Edits which documents the date format and only that

Also, jeez. Date searches suck. https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-11560

MBS-11560: Allow specifying a time zone for edit search date conditions

Hopefully https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/How_to_Use_the_Edi... is kinda decent

chaban: you use it a lot, what did I miss that can be confusing :)

heya ^_^

is there a way to split a release?

https://musicbrainz.org/release/9b97d6f7-e91a-4... has been entered as having 2 discs, but what

's listed as the 2nd disc is actually a separate release, as noted in the annotation

if that's not possible, how do I report it so someone with more seniority/authority will take a look at it?

Was the 2nd disc ever released separately?

no, it was a limited bonus disc

In my mind there are two releases, one with the bonus disc and one without it. I don't see the bonus disc as being a separate release.

it's never been released separately, but if you buy the album now you don't get the bonus anymore

case in point, the album I have right here has the same ID, but no bonus disc

So you would add a new release and just include disc 1.

is that how it works? the bonus disc has its own ID

What do you mean by "ID". Does it have a separate barcode? I thought you said it was never released separately.

I thought releases generally corresponded to uh, what's the proper term, label IDs?

you know, the LACA-15820 thing

Catalog number?

If it's of any use, https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/50f6baee-... is another example of that (one release had a 2nd bonus CD which was an album in itself but wasn't released separately)

ah, right of course

the album proper is LACA-15820, the bonus disc is LAPP-1118

usually 2 disc releases have different catalog numbers

I would just include both catalog numbers on the 2 disc release. If the 2nd disc was never actually available on its own, it shouldn't be an independent release in my opinion.

hmm, you have a point

just seems like a waste to have to enter the whole thing again if all the info is exactly the same (in particular the catalog number and picard fingerprint stuff)

ah well, off I go to add a new release then

been a while, so I hope I don't make any mistakes :o

You will add a new release and you will like it ;-)

lol

If you do I'm an auto editor, I can help clean things up if need be.

I'll be back when I'm done then

what URL type would the label's official page on the release be? "discography entry"?

There is some ambiguity with SACDs. Most SACDs have separate layers for SACD stereo, CD stereo, and SACD multi-channel.

MB Style Guide says we should enter them as separate layers, but can enter them as as single “Hybrid SACD” layer if the tracks are the same on each layer (which they usually are).

But if a given SACD has been entered as separate identical layers we should leave them as is.

all three versions as a single “Hybrid SACD” entity, should identical tracks on separate layers not also be merged?

What about merging the identical tracks on the separate layers? Given that it would be acceptable to enter all three versions as a single “Hybrid SACD” entity, should identical tracks on separate layers not also be merged?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Read it carefully, it says "they CAN be" entered as one layer for convenience but not to combine them I believe.

Correct

kimiko_0: it's actually not hardto make another exactly the same, you cna even "reuse" the disc 1 fro mthe other release

I'm not sure what the question is. If they are the same, you can enter them once if you are in a hurry or don't care, but if they have been entered separately, leave it that way.

CardinalWolseley: the sacd stereo and cd stereo should be the same but the 5.1 or whatever should be separate, ideally

(IIRC, I don't own sacds)

CatQuest: yeah, that's what I'm doing

CatQuest: kimiko_0: There are lots of open edits on the one he is copying don't know if I would approve them as I don't know japanese stuff very well.

she, please

also, yeah, those edits are mine.

But there are SACD releases where the CD layer and SACD stereo layer have different content.

ah, link pls

the person who entered the release used english transliterations instead of the original japanese text

not uncommon for people who cannot read jpanaese :)

myself i only know a little, but i have ways of translating

If I enter an SACD release, I add all the layers. If I encounter an SACD release where they aren't separate I separate them.

If the different layers have diofferent content then fair enough. But if they're all the same content it is clumsy to enter a single SACD as three separate identical layers.

maybe, but that's not what I want out of musicbrainz ^_^

kimiko_0: do yo uhave a link to this thing os i cna see if some of these shoudl be approved first liek Cheezmo said

There would not be 3 identitical layers, the multichannel mixes are always different recordings.

^ CatQuest:

cheers

ah, you beat me to it.

hm

it would not be amiss to have a pseudo tracklist of this with the translitterations also
