exactly

<CatQuest> having someay ot scna ab with picard would be :chef: Do you mean something like https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/usage/su... ?

So alastairp and I were talking and apparently another issue is that new essentia files are currently huge

Since it has a ton more data

As floats in JSON

Which seems less than ideal, not just for storage but for the users to have to upload them for every file

They apparently have a wild idea to store it as pngs

But in any case, it sounds like the kind of topic some people here might be curious about :)

ohh i like what spotify did in its wrap with the movie thing.

QR codes?

lucifer: https://github.com/metabrainz/troi-recommendati... is a mess already. and I haven't touched tests yet.

yeah, so - extracted features are a matrix - x axis is time and y axis is frequency

and each value is a 32 bit float (or 16 or 8 depending on how much data you think you need)

"You played this a very reasonable 422 times as is your right." i hear sarcasm.

lucifer: should I finish things and then add tests? or should just finish things, doc and then do a separate PR for fixing tests?

so, an alpha-rgb png is 32 bits per pixel (8 pixels per channel)

ruaok: tests in a separate PR is fine.

What in hell did you listen to 422 times lucifer ?

(also, maybe next year you can aim to listen to smething 666 times? just a suggestion.)

lol

if you take the bits for a 32bit float and chop them up into 4 chunks of 8 bits, then you just use that as the colour value for a png. and now you have all of your audio features efficiently stored in a png

Neat idea.

monkey: https://listenbrainz.org/user/amCap1712/charts/... first recording. some listens probably mapped else where so count different.

wait so "spotify wrap" is like "the year in music" we're doing ?

Ahh, 422 over all time. I thought it was for this year, seemed like a lot XD

lol why already? it's like december doesnt excist

CatQuest: I guess the other way around, but yes :)

its yearly :). discovered the track this year only

what! only 422 times?

noobs

:D

that is a neat idea monkey. although easier to do with LB since unlike spotify i can delete counts here.

I want to say. listen. about the "year in music" thing we're doing. can we PLEASE actually release it early in january ? because excluding december or half of it, is dumb

and is literally not "the year"

and I *can't* be te only person that gets music for christmas and starts playing it then

oh it looks the messages are not fixed but taken from a set of possible ones.

"While everyone was trying to figure out what NFTs are, you had one song to repeat"

uh

lucifer: what is this?

spotify has assigned subtext to various stats it generated.

oh wait so not only do they exclude devmeber completely they're snarky at you?

bleh no thnaks D

oh but it gives me the idea that we can be positive about stuff!

like "you lsitened to this 200 times! that's amasing!

yup they release in beginning of december. it has already arrived in india.

not sure about other parts of the world

or "you are in top percentage listeners to this track!"

we don't have that stat currently CatQuest but may in future.

"this album was played 30 times, but each song was listened to only 5 except for track y" great song huh?

lucifer: was more a refrence to the joey rattata meme but

oh ok lol

i'm exausted so i cna come up with funny, memey positive comments we can use isntead later

we definitly need ot rickroll people

good natueredly

alastairp: That's super interesting. Didn't realize the level these reconstructions could attain.

yeah, exactly

Also, I love that the 8 mels samples of the Serj Tankian song just sound like their own music genre

Sounds like someone is purposefully glitching songs to make new music

8 mels?

CatQuest: The link alastair posted, bottom of the page

oh right

I actually like that remix

alastairp: can we get more of those? :p

The 8 mels heavy industrial ones

reosarevok: code is at https://github.com/andrebola/EUSIPCO2020/blob/m..., knock yourself out

alastairp: I'm surprised the vocals are mostly understandable at every level for the Tankian one

ugh how insufferable attitude

CatQuest: oh spotify actuallly did you are in the top 1% listener of this artist

sarcastically i assume?

Last year it was not, but maybe this year it is :D

(sarcastically)

don't think so :) even has a link to tweet thanks to the artist

I still say we good-naturedly rickroll people

ruaok: the only playlist spotify made for wrapped is your top tracks!! looks like we have something better than them :D

s/only playlist/only personalized playlist

that sounds desperate...

My top is 43 times, but they said it with "very reasonable" too

huh, maybe they just say very reasonable for everyone then? i'd like it more if its sarcastic though.

huh, I listened to more music than 96% of the US listeners

94% for me.

reosarevok: I usually run then from inside the production-cron container. something like sudo -E -H -u musicbrainz carton exec -- ./admin/RunReports.pl DuplicateArtists

(you have to run the script with carton exec but also as the musicbrainz user)

overall, spotify wrapped looks great. the stats are great. top stats + moods + genres. if you replay wrapped, even different things show up some times. more playlists is the only thing i feel lacking in it.

as usual, it was flashy. I thought the 96% stat was cool. and your top genres was cool, but not surprising.

I think ours will have more depth, TBH

will be fun to see them side by side

indeed.

i liked the top listener to the artist too.

spotify's wrapped has been completely a review of the user's listening. it does not have any music discovery. LB's similar users and top missed tracks so that definitely adds more detail to it.

*new music discovery

bitmap: I'll just run them all, since it seems several are missing and I can't be bothered checking them all one by one

bitmap: also when you have some time, can you see my comment on https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12092 ?

MBS-12092: make it clear that delete-alias requires edit notes

aloso it works if yo udon't have spotify

so deff looking forward to the listenbrainz stat's of the year

as long as lucifer can fix my weird timezone issue :D

CatQuest: the timezone issue was lfm specific but yes there is some issue with imports which i am looking into.

ruaok: btw forgot to mention, today's stat run was chunked at 10 users per message went smoothly.

awsome

oh good. did you check the load graph on floyd during the time it ran?

yes it looked normal.

great! well done!

cool

load never crossed 5.5% and was usually lower

it peaked around 5:45 at 5.5% but looks like no stats were going on that point so probably unreated?

although we only have a single stats run so i am confused why there seems to no activity between 3:30 to 6:00.

[musicbrainz-server] 14reosarevok opened pull request #2356 (03master…MBS-12112): MBS-12112: Remove unneeded escape for $ https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

alastairp: monkey lucifer : Annoy playlist made with GFCCSW metric: https://listenbrainz.org/playlist/50cef1d2-71f2...

Same seed, but with MFCCSW: https://listenbrainz.org/playlist/50cef1d2-71f2...

very interesting results.

this is generated by the similarity API call with neighbors = 1000 and dedup=all. then all tracks duplicate tacks (based on recording name and artist name) are removed. chopped down to 50 and uploaded. minimal processing.

ruaok: i see. interesting. but i haven't listened to the seed recording or the neighbours before so can't say anything about whether these are good results or not currently.

the seed recording is usually the first one in the list.

if you give me a seed MBID, I can generate the two lists for you.
