Also, I wonder if https://test.musicbrainz.org/place/create would be the right place to add new areas? As I understand, it looks like something different from "areas" that's usually added by manually submitting AREAQ issues on Jira

Thanks mayhem, duplicated! Aaaaand ugly youtube player error. The playlist looks good though! What I would expect plus a few interesting new bits and bobs
mayhem: hmm. Seems like more of "stuff similar to one *or* the other" than "similar to both" but I bet that's because not a lot of people listen to both. Although they should, some of that is fun almost-industrial pop, lol
reosarevok: I agree -- that is a weakness of the current implementation. if one artist is more popular than the other the results are skewed.

Oh right, and reosarevok I think we should write some docs for the bot too :)

I am having a little hard time picking up the workflow with this particular repo. I can flesh out some docs if you can give me some general pointers for anyone who'd like to get started with the bot
(it does seem like it'd be nice to have a way to set the dates on add, anyway, but not sure if bug or improvement)

well. given that you;re on windows, I'm no where near ready to have you test, sadly.

because I have written a content resolver -- that takes a LB playlist and resolves it to local content.

I forgot about that! Really interested in that one

let me chat with outsidecontext about the best way to proceed. I'll get back to you.

reosarevok: cool, I'll have another look, would be nice to merge it and avoid future conflicts
So maybe you want to check on those (IIRC I updated based on one)
2023-03-06 06528, 2023

mayhem: might depend on the audience. Installation with pip can work well if you can expect people to install Python. Otherwise I think PyInstaller will work well for creating a package that bundles python and everything needed

it sounds promising...

here is what I want to do: the LB content resolver takes a JSPF playlist and knowledge of a local music collection and matches the playlist to local content.
2023-03-06 06519, 2023
yvanzo
outsidecontext: Thanks, I’m asking because it’s been reported on #musicbrainz that XLD can only associate [disc ID] with one release.
2023-03-06 06539, 2023
mayhem
ideally, this program could be installed as the system "JSPF Mime type" handler. it would parse the playlist and resolve it to a m3u playlist.
2023-03-06 06504, 2023
mayhem
and for the final step, it should call the default application assigned to handle .m3u files.
2023-03-06 06522, 2023
mayhem
does that make sense?
2023-03-06 06555, 2023
outsidecontext
mayhem: associating the program with file types needs some registry entries I think. That would be the job for an installer, which is then a separate topic again (despite its name PyInstaller does not deal with the installing part, it merely creates a standalone bundle thing).
2023-03-06 06521, 2023

registry.
2023-03-06 06549, 2023

but this shouldn't be all *that* hard, right?

well, In my opinion building windows installers is a catastrophe. but no, it shouldn't be *that* hard :D

can't argue that.

would there be any chance you'd be willing to build this installer for aerozol and myself?
