hello

Hi uytu :)

hows it going?

oh im in the wrong channel sorry guys

is there a way to tell picard to save metadata without changing the original mp3s? ie. in a separate metadata file, ideally one that xbmc can read?

Nope.

hmm

could i write a plugin to do that?

Possibly.

Freso: thanks

hm, how do you credit e.g. a death metal singer? just "lead vocals"?

yep

and growls as back vocals

unfortunately, MB doesn't have all the specifics

huh. nothing in MB tagged "cookie monster".

(yet)

CallerNo6: What would use that tag?

besides https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw

hibiscuskazeneko: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_growl

rofl

exactly

it would be hilarious for a death metal vocalist to perform dressed as Cookie Monster

if it happens, tag it!

well, not you specifically

I mostly reserve tags for things like franchises and unusual media formats

(btw, do you think it would be a good idea to have a Franchise entity?)

or would that be too broad?

hmm. it's a logical grouping. i /assume/ you mean it in more or less the same sense that I understand it. (i.e. 'Star Wars' or 'Final Fantasy')

right

could it be done as a work type?

not really

or maybe it's more like a series? huh. maybe it is it's own kind of thing.

it's more of a mega-grouping entity

bigger than a series

it would encompass Artists, Releases, Recordings, Works and maybe a few other things

Series, of course (d'oh!)

that does sound like a concept MB should have

maybe we should run it by reosarevok

Which type of ticket should I make? MBS? Style?

For some reason I'm intrigued by this http://www.universal-music.co.jp/takamizawa-tos...

(it's not concert footage or music videos, so I won't add it to MB)

I'd run it by reo first to see what he thinks.

haha

?

so sleepy today...

he went to Tower to get it >_>

that relationship looks wrong

Kovensky: Does the packaging explicitly state "Distributed by Tower Records"?

hibiscuskazeneko: yes

never seen that before

has 2 "TOWER RECORDS INC." people listed as "Sales Cordination"

and "Distribution by TOWER RECORDS INC."

just take a pic of it and attach it to the edit

hmm, that's new on me

and take one of those "chorus" relationships too

it's in the same page

good

sigh. someone is happier to scan it than fire iPhoto and upload a photo of the page...

scans are typically easier to read

btw, where's the documentation that states to add arranger credits to recordings? I can never seem to find it...

those are 編曲 credits that are on each track

no docs. just consensus that arrangers go on recordings

we add them to recordings here

ah

popular works get re-arranged so often it makes no sense to add a new recording for each arrangement

whoo, nice. thanks!

"Appre" w

hahaha

Engrish strikes again

I added that cover as a "booklet scan"

thank you

though I'd rather just keep Amazon's for the front since our scanner is... not very good :(

ideally I'd encourage you to upload the rest of the scans

it can only save in lossy formats, and doesn't let me pick quality

how old is it?

what software do you have it hooked up to?

not sure, but it's at least 2 years old; it's the office's scanner

(I'm slacking at work :D)

what software do you use to process the images?

the scanner saves directly to an SMB share

(I use Photoshop Elements 6 with an old CanoScan LiDE 60)

I don't postproccess at all; just crop and upload ._.

ah

that's what I usually do as well

I do all the cropping in Photoshop

ay, ay, ay

http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/a091f1c0-1a... <-- accidentally cropped too much off the sides :v

it's not uploaded to MB

or did you do the front?

yeah, that is my scan

I'll check to see if I can find a better version online, but in a few minutes (my battery is about to die)

brb

the only google image result that has the details I cropped off is 430x430 <_<

http://diverse-direct.com/wp/wp-content/uploads... <-- the staples were showing up on the left side so I thought that was some misprint from the back showing up in the front; the right side was cropped due to wrong scanner settings so it didn't scan that to begin with

OK, I'm back

hibiscuskazeneko: for some reason those jasrac links give an error when I click :f

you need to have this script installed to view those links directly: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/2325-jasrac%E...

are there any guidelines for titling remixes?

I see the one for OC ReMix, but this is unrelated to OC ReMix

do I credit the original artist or the remixer as the track artist?

credit the original artist

I can't remember where the documentation states this

ic

hibiscuskazeneko: another cute one: what to do about ruby

what ruby?

furigana, I assume

adding another disc; on this one the "天秤" in the track title has ライブラ as ruby

ライブラ looks like "Libra" not "Ruby"

again I'll need some visuals

just add it as inline "天秤 (ライブラ)"

yeah, just did that: http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/e92d6d4d-07...

v-kei guys use "天秤 〜ライブラ〜"

hibiscuskazeneko: ruby text = text attached to text with its reading

Nyanko-sensei: lol

just to show off >_>

What do you mean "format: unknown"?

Did you forget to add it?

I mean that I forgot to pick CD as the format w

(I'll attach the Disc ID later)

I'm getting to think these "Chorus" members are just another form of special thanks

at the bottom of the list there's "そして、ファンの皆さん！”

and I forgot to set as CD again 3 more times :v

Damn, I can't find Pankolle in the database, but I'm sure we have it.
