"mixed by x at y. mix engineers a, b, c" - are a,b,c assistant mixers then, or is that 4 mixers?

4 mixers

There seems to be an epidemic of editors not leaving notes

You mean a pandemic.

new editors who haven't heard the good word? or old editors who are getting lazy (and who doesn't sometimes?)?

hibiscuskazeneko: You say that like it's a new thing…

CallerNo6: These are editors who have been around quite a while

2-3 years on average

ah. then they've gone off the rails on the lazy train.

and Ozzy shoved them there? :P

hello, how do you change the album name after you've already matched against musicbrainz database?example: i dropped a folder(album) in and it matched a specific album, but that album didn't have cover art, but the 'other version' option in rightclick menu only shows the one version, but i see on music brains there's the same album, but a few more words added to that album name

example, i've saved the files as 'Yellow Submarine', but the one i want is 'Yellow Submarine Songtrack'

maybe i'm asking how to retag files?

sleezio, but it's only the cover art you're concerned with?

I think he wants to manually select a particular edition

this time, yes, i'm not sure if i can add my own coverart, i didn't see an option

sleezio, you can do that by selecting the release in Unmatched files and clicking "Lookup in Browser"

(I'm not sure who you're replying to)

there are no unmatched, all songs in this album were matched/saved

there's 2 version of the same album, i'm wanting to switch...retag the album

sleezio, and you want to retag only to get the cover art, correct?

i matched/saved as yellow submarine, i'd like to retag these files to yellow submarine songtrack album

yes

unless there's a way i can manually add the coverart and save

sleezio: If the releases are in the same release group, you should be able to right-click the release in Picard and there should be an option for "Other versions" or something like that.

right, i tried, but it only shows the 1 version

how can i retag the files?

you're probably looking for this? https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/8d5f4b07-...

everytime i 'add folder', it auto matches them to existing album

oh, right. "Yellow Submarine Songtrack" is a different release.

add ?tport=8000 to the end of the URL and you get Tagger links that Picard will use

yes

er, release-group

chungy, weird, it shows lots of versions, but MB app is only showing me the one

different release groups for the standalone album and the soundtrack

ok, how do i redo these files since they've already been tagged?

sleezio: Did you do the ?tport?

i'll try

yes, but nothing changed

Once you've loaded the proper release into Picard, simply drag the files/tracks from the release they're currently filed in into the newly loaded one.

sleezio: Navigate to the release on musicbrainz.org that you want.

It should have a small green "Tagger" icon. Click that.

if picard is set to listen at a port (and there are no firewall issues) there should be a green Tagger label to the right of the release name. clicking on that should load the release in picard

i've tried clicking the green 'tag' icon as well, nothing happens

sleezio: Try to "lookup in browser" from Picard.

having said that freso, just tried it myself by just adding that to the url and it doesn't work even though I have picard open. guess the browser page needs to originate from a picard lookup

well, i may need to port forward 8000 in router

right

the link is to 127.0.0.1, no port forwards should be necessary

Zastai: Works fine as long as Picard actually listens on :8000.

look at the bottom of Picard's window, it should say what port it's listening on. Normally is 8000

bottom right of picard: 'Listening on port 8000'

(Lately, I've taken to just drag'n'dropping the URLs from the browser into Picard instead though.)

I don' want to confuse the issue, and it's good to learn how to retag a set of files, but it seems like what you really wanted to do is use the release-group cover art, which is an option in picard 1.3+.

CallerNo6: Ehm. No. Because the release they're currently tagged as is in the wrong release group, so that would still not give the proper CA.

Freso, Is it the wrong release group? Maybe I misunderstood. I thought the only issue was grabbing cover art from a different version.

What they want is to get the proper release loaded in Picard so they can tag the files as that release (and use the CA of that release/group.)

CallerNo6: The release it's currently tagged as is apparently the only release in its group.

adding ?tport=8000 to end of url or clicking the green tag on screen is doing anything

sleezio: try dragging the link to the release into Picard.

(The link is in e.g., the header/title of the page, or the "Overview" tab.)

drag the url of the release i want into the left panel in picard?

aah, something happened

that was added when i drug the url into picard

Yep.

ok, i'm still not sure what to do with this

So drag the tracks from the wrong release to the new release.

aah

(You can select multiple tracks and move them all in one go.)

working, thanks

CallerNo6: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release-group/ac36... is the RG Picard originally assigned sleezio's files to.

ah, well, that's a problem

I would ask LordSputnik if that should be merged with the other one (it would seem so from its Discogs page), but I don't know enough about Beatles discography to care/dare to initiate that merge. :)

Do it. Doooooo iiiiiiiit.

WP:BB, eh?

If that should be a separate RG, I would expect a good comment and annotation.

SWEEEET, THAT DID THE TRICK

oops

thanks for the help, guys

Well, it seems like the soundtrack is also from '69, so I guess it's not too far off to believe the single-release RG is the odd one out.

sleezio: Cheers. :)

Wir alle wohnen auf ein gelbes Submarine, ein gelbes Submarine... *doesn't know the German word for submarine*

Also, Freso, jeez. Get familiar with the Beatles.

unterwasserbot

haha

*Unterwasserbot

bot, not boot?
