hrm. the remove rating script destroys AcoustID page :<

what would be the best way to clean up a merge that was mistakenly set to append? just marking medium 2 for removal would orphan the track ids, I assume. not sure if that is a concern. http://musicbrainz.org/release/578b7de4-f225-48...

edit was two weeks ago, too. missed it :/

the only disc id is attached to medium 2, too

are track IDs even exposed anywhere?

I guess I could be asking that on devel

It seems like, if trackids aren't exposed anywhere, then merge-rather-than-delete doens't really matter. so it'd be safe to simply more the discid and then remove medium 2.

*if*

well, Picard tags them. i don't know to what extent other things might use it. i think the recording ID is probably more important.

are you sure you're not thinking of recording id?

maybe. its there in 1.3.2 at least. http://ezri.org/picardtrackid.png

Would it be OK for me to start an INST ticket for guitar synthesizer? Or should I hold off since someone single-handedly vetoed the original request?

what was the argument? that it's not a proper "instrument"?

Yes, essentially

In any case, I would think it's okay. The whole reason to have a new style system is that the old one wasn't working well.

How do you pipe a link in JIRA?

(I fixed the links, but I might need some help with the description)

Oh boy, another multi-artist edge case http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1...

This time it's a live album with multiple headlining acts

7 artists? I'd probably go with VA for that tbh

(assuming the list on the left are artists)

they are

but the implication with Various Artists is that the release is a compilation

(and Picard sorts it accodingly)

accordingly*

Dunno, I guess it depends on the definition of "compilation" :)

I've added plenty of various artists albums which aren't MB compilations

The vast majority are (in the sense that the material contained therein was previously released elsewhere or pulled from another source)

Dunno. I'd think a VA + Live without compilation is clear enough about it not being a comp (Picard will probably by default add the itunes compilation tag but that's really unrelated)

(I wish we'd rename it "thing that iTunes wants because it sucks")

Discogs have VA fwiw

Although they do specifically call it a comp, probably because they have a different definition :)

New post: blog: Server update, 2015-03-23 <http://blog.musicbrainz.org/2015/03/24/server-u...;

just.. saying

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/32274015 Is this ok?

Unclear. IMO yes

At least in general

Although it might have the unintended effect of attaching "Remix" to the main single RG, so that should probably be changed if it does get merged

I guess the thing is - if that was the original song + the remix it'd clearly be included in the main single RG, so it makes sense to have it there anyway. But I don't think there's a clear consensus for this

my thoughts too

atleast until we can set release-specific type

But why is it relevant

?

Normal singles are full of remixes too most of the time

The issue is that one single is a remix of the other

reosarevok: well *now* a days sure.. but go back a couple a decades and no such thing

making a remix single of a one fo those release.. that would be a different RG.. but again I don't know tis particular case that good either

you'll notice I didn't vote on it :)

it was more an aside to wanting to be able to set release spesific type i guess

blah ;p

STalKer-X : « the remove rating script destroys AcoustID page » is it about the HIDE_RATINGS module of my TURBO script ? what AcoustID page is it about ? acoustid.org’s or mb’s ?

JESUS2099 you have one, too? :D

STalKer-X: for « Advanced search by default » you don’t need script… in my browser, typing mr followed by anything, will make a release search that is advanced mode

JESUS2099: i used this: http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/121766

i also have ma (for artist advanced sraech), mg (for RG), mw, etc.

and what page is malfunctioning with it ?

the AcoustID page of a recording.

instead of listing the IDs, it's becoming blank

this ? https://musicbrainz.org/recording/442ff31a-8a6d...

yes

HIDE_RATINGS work… you can switch to that if you want but if you do so, please report any bugs as I don’t really use that feature ;)

is that even your script?

mb. SUPER MIND CONTROL Ⅱ X TURBO ?

yes :)

you should make your scripts gender-aware :x

how ? :)

there is something in it that shows i’m a boy ?

PROPHET PRINCE CHAMPION vs. PROPHET PRINCESS CHAMPION

maybe the fact that i need to have something to enhance my mind ?

ah yes… that

that’s right, i’ll seriously think of it

since you are here

prophet and chompion is ok for girls, right ? it’s prince that’s not, right ?

and we are already best buddies ... :D

i have to go lunch though but go ahead :)

i think it's the princess part, yes ;)

can we PM. ?

sure
