hmmm. who chose the default tags in last.fm.plus? cause electronica (!) should be electronic and hip-hop -> hip hop for example

unless someone knows a better tool to tag genres

gfgffd

I tend to just put whatever genre I think applies when tagging a release

I'd rather not have to do that for a whole library :'

beets has lastfm genre tagging

and a sanitized genre list that collapses

couldn't figure out why "beets lastgenre myfolder" did abolutely nothing

-s*

picard isn't very good at removing tag fields eh?

you mean mutagen?

Ackis: I seem to remember there is a setting for this.

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Picard_Documentatio... "clear existing tags"?

CallerNo6: that's a basic "overwrite" method - what I'm bastardizing picard for is to add metadata to my audio books

Ackis: beets?

I forgot about beets

I'll have to look into it again, maybe find a way to automate metadata gathering

I need help, urgently. http://musicbrainz.org/edit/30024299

hibiscuskazeneko: the tone of your request for help does not seem to match the contents of the edit you have pasted.

derwin: There's a serious style issue at hand.

in my world, humans who need urgent help are in some sort of meaningful danger

ymmv.

We have a potential abuse situation here

I had an emotional response to your tone, certainly that is my issue as well

but lets imagine it's the worst case abuse situation

Bah, labels.

I'm pretty sure I still don't consider it "urgent"

It is urgent because yindesu thinks his word is law.

In plain English, he made up a new rule with no discussion or outside input and expects us to obey.

derwin and I are toad's besties.

MagneticAfro: Who?

Stark told me that's what you call "best friends" nowadats

Who are Toad and Stark? Princess Peach's assistant and Iron Man?

hibiscuskazeneko: we'll just have to disagree about what sort of things are "urgent"

Maybe that was a poor choice of words. "Extremely critical" perhaps?

hibiscuskazeneko: I agree with yindesu that the catalog number seems to go with Victor.

(other than that I'm happy to have both labels on the release)

VICL- is used for multiple imprints.

To my knowledge the Invitation imprint has not been used for new material in over 2 decades.

"urgent" or not, yindesu's comment does kind of lean toward "thinks his word is law"

(or maybe it was just an "oops, I worded that poorly" moment)

Trust me, it’s the former.

hibiscuskazeneko: so, what is it that is urgent about those edits?

hawke1: The style issue, mostly.

hibiscuskazeneko: I guess I don’t see the style issue. Is it whether having multiple catnos is allowed? which label should get the catno?

I was afraid if we didn't do something about it yindesu would go on an auto-editing spree, "correcting" imprints Victor's website doesn't recognize.

hawke1: The issue at hand is that the front cover displays one imprint while the obi shows another. Victor Entertainment's website only shows the imprint on the obi, so yindesu rationalizes that that imprint is the only "correct" one.

Ah— so the problem/question is whether one artwork’s imprint should override some other one?

Yes. The catalog number issue is a red herring.

OK. It seems to me that the release should clearly have both, and yindesu trusted the website over the artwork (wouldn’t be the first time)

Yep

(IMO websites are fallbacks for if the actual artwork is unavailable)

Agreed.

I'm offended. That's asoncoverist.

:-p

dittp

ditto*

We’re documenting actual releases, not companies websites.

oh, wait, I got my hate groups mixed up. that's asoncoversupremacist.

"Hate group"? You need to stop watching so much Feminist Frequency :P

I don't hate tropes. Some of my best friends are tropes.

Or do you mean http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/227/9/0/... ?

is that a small dinosaur, or a really big leaf?

That's the Pokémon Tropius.

(Where've you been the last 11 years?)

alas, spending too little time in game stores

Great. The images aren't loading properly on both MB's regular and beta servers/
