        ah ok I wait 1 minute and then ok
      • 2013-08-09 22127, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        how are you posting to the list? it might just be a restriction on that interface.
      • 2013-08-09 22127, 2013

      • jesus2099
        they tell me etiquette blabla and link me to « What is a mailing list ? » http://n4.nabble.com/help/Answer.jtp?id=17 but i know what is a ML, it’s a total crap  ;P
      • 2013-08-09 22152, 2013

      • jesus2099
        ok done, i have to wait 1 or 2 minute between each post or something like that
      • 2013-08-09 22104, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        ah, yeah, that restriction is just on nabble because they don't want people to use nabble for spam
      • 2013-08-09 22118, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        if you sent emails directly, you wouldn't have that problem.
      • 2013-08-09 22115, 2013

      • jesus2099
        sending e-mails ? oww, come on…  ;)
      • 2013-08-09 22115, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        or through gmane
      • 2013-08-09 22129, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        gmane is superior to mail-archive and nabble
      • 2013-08-09 22132, 2013

      • hawke_1
        email is hard, let’s go shopping? :-)
      • 2013-08-09 22133, 2013

      • jesus2099
        gmane is quite strange stuff i don’t understand it :)
      • 2013-08-09 22146, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        if you use emacs, you can connect to it from the gnus newsreader
      • 2013-08-09 22150, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        well, all nabble does is take the stuff you type in, convert it to an email from a fake address, then send it to the list.
      • 2013-08-09 22151, 2013

      • jesus2099
        uh oh
      • 2013-08-09 22156, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        or you can use the web interface
      • 2013-08-09 22112, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        (well, or any other news reader program :P)
      • 2013-08-09 22117, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Thunderbird! :-D
      • 2013-08-09 22132, 2013

      • jesus2099
        kepstin-work: not a fake adress it’s only me setting a fake adress, otherwise you’re supposed to post with your true validated adress
      • 2013-08-09 22152, 2013

      • jesus2099
        but that’s not jesus2099 friendly
      • 2013-08-09 22115, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        jesus2099: we don't allow secondary release types to be used only for one primary type.
      • 2013-08-09 22122, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        just fyi :)
      • 2013-08-09 22152, 2013

      • kepstin-work would add "mini-album" either as a new primary type or an alternative name to EP
      • 2013-08-09 22119, 2013

      • jesus2099
        and when the same artist has both mini album and EP ? (like Galneryus)
      • 2013-08-09 22127, 2013

      • jesus2099
        IIRC
      • 2013-08-09 22139, 2013

      • jesus2099
        ah then would add "mini-album" is ok
      • 2013-08-09 22143, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        and maxi-single is... tricky. it's more of a media description (12cm vs 8cm or 12" vs 7")
      • 2013-08-09 22151, 2013

      • jesus2099
        indeed
      • 2013-08-09 22100, 2013

      • jesus2099
        not only
      • 2013-08-09 22106, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        and we already record the media size :)
      • 2013-08-09 22128, 2013

      • jesus2099
        in fr when we had singles. they were all on 12cm but we had singles (A or A+B) and maxi sinfgles (more than A+B)
      • 2013-08-09 22133, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        I would support adding "Mini-Album" as a new primary type, but not as a secondary type.
      • 2013-08-09 22102, 2013

      • jesus2099
        imo mini albums should be displayed in line with albums, not appart, this is why i prefer sub-type
      • 2013-08-09 22121, 2013

      • Lotheric
        I would argue that a mini-album is a short album therefore an album
      • 2013-08-09 22122, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        well, subtypes can be used with any primary type.
      • 2013-08-09 22126, 2013

      • jesus2099
        (thinking of onmyo-za)
      • 2013-08-09 22141, 2013

      • jesus2099
        maybe subtypes can be used with any primary type is a limitation that must be got rid of ?
      • 2013-08-09 22142, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        Lotheric: it really is a separate type of release, imo; particularly in japanese usage.
      • 2013-08-09 22153, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        jesus2099: no, that's the reason for secondary types
      • 2013-08-09 22157, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        they aren't subtypes
      • 2013-08-09 22103, 2013

      • jesus2099
        ah
      • 2013-08-09 22108, 2013

      • hawke_1
        New image uploader is awesome, btw.
      • 2013-08-09 22118, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        primary types are for things that are exclusive - something can't be an album and single at the same time
      • 2013-08-09 22120, 2013

      • jesus2099
        but mini albums i know in jpn are not to be extracted out of the album timeline
      • 2013-08-09 22127, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        secondary types can be combined with other things.
      • 2013-08-09 22134, 2013

      • jesus2099
        like Lotheric they are just smaller albums
      • 2013-08-09 22139, 2013

      • jesus2099
        says
      • 2013-08-09 22150, 2013

      • jesus2099
        so not different from album, just smallers
      • 2013-08-09 22105, 2013

      • Lotheric
        but then we have EP that are shorter LP
      • 2013-08-09 22108, 2013

      • Lotheric
        hehe
      • 2013-08-09 22113, 2013

      • jesus2099
        but EP are apart from albums
      • 2013-08-09 22117, 2013

      • jesus2099
        mini albums shouldn’t
      • 2013-08-09 22133, 2013

      • jesus2099
        EP are like "side projects"
      • 2013-08-09 22143, 2013

      • Lotheric
        not always
      • 2013-08-09 22144, 2013

      • jesus2099
        like hors-série (don’t know how to say)

      • 2013-08-09 22145, 2013

        Opinions Please: VIAF "Purpose" (listed as a group, with what is on the artist cover as an alternate) ... or Artist Cover "Bam Crawford's Purpose" .. or ... AllMusic/Discogs "Bam Crawford"?
      • 2013-08-09 22145, 2013

      • hawke_1
        most common as on cover
      • 2013-08-09 22154, 2013

      • hawke_1
        If they’re always “Bam Crawford’s Purpose” use that
      • 2013-08-09 22133, 2013

      • hawke_1
        if they’re usually “Purpose” but have a few releases as “Bam Crawford’s Purpose” then artist name “Purpose” with appropriate Artist Credits on the relevant release.
      • 2013-08-09 22147, 2013

        one of the things I've had knocking around in the back of my mind is a person/eponymous-band relationship.

        Seems its already there.

      • CallerNo6
        is it?

        Snartal's Really Cool Band is a group, of which Snartal, the artist is a member of.

      • ianmcorvidae
        that doesn't specify that it's an eponymous band specifically
      • 2013-08-09 22155, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        ah, but this is more than member. it's more like, "any discography of [person] should include the discography of [eponymous band]". Like with e.g. Miles Davis

      • ianmcorvidae
        though it is a reasonable point that 'eponymous' could work as an attribute of member-of

        CallerNo6: wanting a group's releases to show up on an artists page is not the same thing as a group having the name of the artist :)
      • 2013-08-09 22148, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        agreed, I can't think of why an attribute wouldn't work
      • 2013-08-09 22150, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        don't confuse the two :)

        if we have an attribute indicating that a group takes its name from an artist, that would be separate from the relationship or attribute that indicates that the group's releases should be shown on the artist page.

        one thing that would help here is having a real Person (as reosarevok is fond of asking for) rather than conflating artist and person

        kepstin-work: understood. ianmcorvidae: agreed
      • 2013-08-09 22123, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        (as in, there's the person itself and there's the person's role as a solo artist, and those are different things XD)

        not that I'm volunteering to implement any of this crap, of course, but :P

        man, we should just start a world-wide service that assigns every single person a uuid and stores all of their personal information.

        totally. because names are just search hints.

        yeah, then you can just use the rfid reader in your phone to find out who you're talking to :)
