if so, then the answer is because we need to split it up because different parts of the db are under different licenses, and we also split it up so that people can pick which bits to import (hardly anyone needs the edit history, for example)
2014-01-14 01424, 2014

so it would still involve a variety of files
2014-01-14 01449, 2014
nikki
and also we've just always done it that way, so switching would require extra work from our already stretched devs to fix something that isn't broken for us :)
2014-01-14 01431, 2014
nikki
the dumps are actually just tab-separated files that you could use with "copy" if you wanted. before luks wrote mbslave I once imported the db by running CreateTables.sql and just using "copy" to import each table from the file, because I didn't have enough free space to do it with the official import script

Man, this Ki/oon debate makes me think that we really really need label artwork. :-D

feel free to implement it :P

hawke1: how would that make a difference in the Ki/oon edit? You mean, determining whether "Ki/oon" is text vs an imprint?
2014-01-14 01400, 2014
CallerNo6
(on that particular release, I mean)

CallerNo6: In that we could have a set of images associated with the label and compare them with the release's artwork
I'm thinking about putting out an RFC proposing the AR "is an imprint of" along with an "imprint" label type. -- does that make sense, or bad idea?
2014-01-14 01456, 2014

Dunno, labels are hard :p

oh ^^;
2014-01-14 01450, 2014

the thing is, most CD+DVD releases have 2 catalog numbers associated to them
2014-01-14 01412, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
some compilations have a catalog number for each CD
2014-01-14 01429, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
so yeah, removing multiple labels will mess those up
2014-01-14 01456, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
I think imprints as separate from record labels would be a good idea
2014-01-14 01436, 2014
hawke_
Anybody else? :-)
2014-01-14 01442, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
also make them have images attached to them, so people who add them would know the right imprint
2014-01-14 01404, 2014
reosarevok
hawke_: I have no idea. I'd rather not make the system yet more complex than it is
2014-01-14 01426, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
if that becomes a thing, I can safely add catalog numbers to labels without getting the imprint police on my tail
2014-01-14 01405, 2014
hawke_
Nyanko-sensei: well, having images attached is beyond what can be done with an AR...but yeah that would be nice.
2014-01-14 01413, 2014
hawke_
reosarevok: I'm hoping it will help make it clearer than the present "labels are all imprints mostly, except that sometimes they're also the company that owns them...kinda...or something."
2014-01-14 01434, 2014
reosarevok
hawke_: that might work for major stuff, but what about small indie labels?
2014-01-14 01440, 2014
reosarevok
You suddenly get a needless dupe?
2014-01-14 01402, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
a lot of big labels changed owners and imprints over years. and a lot of artists were printing their own fictional logos while having the record label imprint on it as well
2014-01-14 01411, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
it gets confusing really fast
2014-01-14 01403, 2014
hawke_
reosarevok: Dunno. Maybe we can somehow get it to be used only when necessary, i.e. when the imprint changes hands?
2014-01-14 01449, 2014
CallerNo6
I agree. Confusing, fast. Life used to seem to simple.

what image type do I use for the vinyl itself?
2014-01-14 01430, 2014

I think it's a picture of the vinyl inside a clear screen cover

j-pop albums are evil. they credit everyone who worked on the song
2014-01-14 01429, 2014
Nyanko-sensei
as opposed to indie metal bands where they rarely credit individual members: arranged and composed by the whole band, because :effort: to credit separate members on each song
