Ohh so does that mean we can't use any JAVA library for metadata tagging ??

Hello everyone, I am Aaditya an undergraduate student. I found the MusicBrainz-server project interesting and want to know more about it and contribute on it.

Hi asubedy! I've noticed you helping me with the mb revamp project. If you need some help with the mb server setup, you can ask here. Also, bitmap, yvanzo and reosarevok are the active maintainers and leads for the mb server, so they can probably help you with any queries you might have. Welcome!

our DocSprint week has arrived!

I'm both trepidacious and mildly excited about this -- I think I will sleep better after this week.
jump on in. I think you probably have a good sense for what to add to the list of things that have not been documented enough. :)

Haha yaass!

mayhem we seem to have some project documentation on readthedocs but acousticbrainz, musicbrainz don't seem to have them on readthedocs. Any reason for this?
2022-01-17 01715, 2022
mayhem
I'm guessing because those teams have not decided to use it. MB has the Wiki it uses for documentation. AB just hasn't gotten the love it needs.
2022-01-17 01718, 2022
alastairp
mostly because musicbrainz predates readthedocs by decades
Thanks for the share alastairp! We can definitely improve the acousticbrainz repo on GitHub.
2022-01-17 01748, 2022
akshaaatt
Currently I am not sure whether we can access the recently added cover arts without making a database query but bitmap might know more about this asubedy
2022-01-17 01750, 2022
akshaaatt
Also mayhem, bookbrainz has their own organization on GitHub which is separate from metabrainz. Any history behind it?
2022-01-17 01743, 2022
asubedy
Oh ok, I will wait for bitmap's reply then 😄

lucifer: hi, let me know when you're around and we can spend some time on the planning doc for pythonbrainzes
2022-01-17 01735, 2022
mayhem
Yes, it was originally a community project, before we brought it in as one of our own. One of the conflict points with the previous team was how GitHub should be organized.
2022-01-17 01744, 2022
alastairp
I'll be here all day tomorrow, but can spend an hour or so today helping to get an outline going

And not all of that has been resolved yet. Might be a good thing for monkey to do this week.

i'd very much like to move bookbrainz documentation to metabrainz wiki
2022-01-17 01739, 2022
CatQuest
give it it's own mainspace?
2022-01-17 01749, 2022

lucifer: I started writing some notes in the doc. I'm not sure if we should focus on detail or breadth first - perhaps breadth first?
2022-01-17 01704, 2022
CatQuest
thne it can be trasncluded to the site and have some formatting bells and wistles added
2022-01-17 01724, 2022
lucifer
alastairp: sure breadth sounds good.
2022-01-17 01721, 2022

also we should discuss how to organize docs. github/rtd/guidelines repo etc.
Hi everyone! I am indeed back (if a bit jetlagged)
2022-01-17 01738, 2022

right so let's finalize that?

lucifer a little off the track but I was wondering if we could have the `most listened songs` on lb this week/month. A section like the one we have for Recent listens
2022-01-17 01754, 2022
akshaaatt
Welcome monkey!💯
2022-01-17 01734, 2022

akshaaatt: you mean sitewide top artists/recordings/releases for week/month etc?
2022-01-17 01741, 2022
akshaaatt
Yes!
2022-01-17 01758, 2022

we have those apis already. ui is pending.

yyoung[m]: no, we didn't add the ability to delete. the idea was that if there were duplicate submissions then we can identify that one is wrong. Our similarity index should be able to help with that
2022-01-17 01720, 2022
yyoung[m]
alastairp: OK, but with only 2 submissions (1 incorrect, 1 correct) it can't identify the correct one, right?
2022-01-17 01750, 2022
alastairp
that's right. 3 is the minimum to be able to identify bad items
2022-01-17 01743, 2022
alastairp
don't worry - I'm positive that you're not the first person to submit bad items to AB
So, it's all free-with-ads in the US *but* still paid only elsewhere
2022-01-17 01730, 2022
reosarevok
Not sure if we should automatically select *both* types...
2022-01-17 01719, 2022
yyoung[m]
alastairp: One more question, Picard doesn't seem to allow duplicate submissions, how does that work? I didn't find an option to fill my own API key, so is it using a universal key?
2022-01-17 01715, 2022
alastairp
yyoung[m]: what do you mean duplicate submissions in picard?
i don't really understand the diff betwehen "strema for free and "streaming page" tbh
2022-01-17 01739, 2022
reosarevok
Well, "streaming page" is supposed to not be free :)
2022-01-17 01751, 2022

(generally, to require a subscription)

dosnt most things require this? the only "free streaming" i cna see is bandcamp
2022-01-17 01741, 2022
CatQuest
i don't actually consider "yo ucna "strema for free" (with ads/only in this country/if you sign up/with acreditcard/etc) to be "free streaming"
2022-01-17 01751, 2022
reosarevok
Well, most people would consider "free with ads" free :)
2022-01-17 01714, 2022
reosarevok
I mean, YouTube is also free with ads and almost everybody considers that free AFAICT :)
2022-01-17 01714, 2022

visual ads, sure
2022-01-17 01718, 2022

2022-01-17 01732, 2022

It seems after submitting the wrong information, I can't use submit Picard to submit the right ones. I can use acousticbrainz-gui, but submitting multiple times only result in a single submission entry

if it's code or whatnot use a pastebucket liek paste.ee

github has aapste bucket too
2022-01-17 01704, 2022

yyoung[m]: acousticbrainz-gui has a config file which won't submit the same exact file page more than once. I don't know if picard has a similar mechanism
