I never ran the live-indexing steps so I didn't run the trigger uninstall but here are the container logs

let me know if I need to adjust log levels or anything

sounds good yvanzo thanks for your input

to anyone else able to help -- I've looked over the log files and wasn't able to make much sense of anything .. I don't even see a specific request that mentions my search string so it's a little hard to follow

correction I found the search request but there isn't much info beyond the search string

Hello, everyone! Could you please approve my edits? https://musicbrainz.org/user/aavalos/edits/open

I added some singles from HUNNY.

My MusicBrainz account is new.

Are you able to access that link? Or is it only available for me?

avalos : hi

avalos: please familiarise yourself with the beginners guide: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Beginners_Guide

the releases you submitted have been added to the database, so everyone can see them, but some of the subsequent edits will not be applied for 7 days to allow for other editors to review and vote on them

see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Introduction_to_Voting for further information

For future reference I would suggest using additional sources to Soundcloud and YouTube for releases, such as Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music etc.

Here's one of the releases you added in Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Kv6P3Ln0Q6RvPFZ...

you can also use importers from https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts to make it easier to do data entry.

atj, you're the one coding the a-tisket mirror am I right ?

is the api returning itunes links ? I always change thoses for apple music links since it's a redirection

Lotheric: yes, that's right. I keep having to do that myself and it's pissing me off. IIRC I did update the code but didn't deploy it...

do you think it'd be possible to add other complimentary links ? like tidal, youtube music, amazon, etc

or .. too complicated?

Lotheric: every time I look at the code, a kitten dies

I know youtube music allow search by upc

hahaa

I prod it with a stick occasionally and stand back but adding major new functionality is not something I want to get into

an option to set worldwide would be nice too (when only british whatever isles don't get it I conseider the release worldwide)

of course it's easy to do it on the release form (on musicbraqinz site), just have to select like US and then change it to avoid the huge list but sometime I forget and leave it as us

yes, we clearly experience the same issues! :)

very annoying when you forget to set a specific country and end up with 180 release events

haha indeed

I see it as useful (the huge list) when there's a reason other than country x is on this service and not in that service

for example here in french Canada, there's aoften a digital release for western european countries (where they speak french) and another release for the rest of the world (often 2 distributors)

yes, I probably don't get exposed to situations where it might be valuable very often

also releases that are edited/clean for the US market

often aren't released elsewhere in the world

OK, I just had a look at the code in my git repo and I did make some changes to submit Apple Music URLs with a type of "streaming page".

I don't use apple products but as I understand it iTunes still exist but it's a software and you have to buy release from within the software and it's no longer possible to buy from the website, am I correct?

IIRC, I tested it and it did work, but I was concerned it might break some links in edit notes.

it's 'beta' people can report it if it does break stuff

:p

I've never used iTunes or Apple Music so I don't really know exactly. Basically the iTunes API just started returning Apple Music URLs, and then the iTunes URLs themselves began redirecting to Apple Music

someone gave me a tidal account for 3 months, good experience so far, they have a lot of credits compared to other services

I like the interface of the web player

I stay away from apple since I heard a long time ago that itunes was deleting stuff from your library without your consent

I heard that the Tidal library was a bit limited, or was that Qobuz?

and I stay away from Sony since they put rootkits in their music CDs in the early 2000s

I listen to hip hop and one owner of Tidal is JAY-Z so there's no lack of hip hop on it ;)

Jack Dorsey owns Tidal now I think

the whole mqa think is rubbish though

~thing

Yeah, it's a lossy format apparently (?!)

yup<

I think I might just commit it and see if anyone moans

!m atj

You're doing good work, atj!

Lotheric: you must bear responsbility for the dead kittens

CatQuest won't be happy about the dead kittens

OK, it's deployed.

\ o /

atj: Don't forget to push the changes to GitHub, I'll probably find the time to review them :)

OK, it's deployed.

oops

kellnerd: I just pushed the changes to GitHub. They're very simple to be honest.

outsidecontext: do you want me to grant you access to the GH repo? I can only allow 3 collaborators as it's private on a free plan. I haven't made it public due to the lack of license.

Thanks. Let's hope that small changes do not require larger fixes later.

kellnerd: I *don't* think they will, primarily because the iTunes ID and the Apple Music ID are the same.

However it's trivial to revert the change if there are any major issues.

atj: would be much appreciated, I'm happy to contribute when I have time. If not I'm happy to give the space to someone else. And maybe we can sort our the licensing

I'd like to get the bandcamp stuff added :)

outsidecontext: Wait until you see the code ;)

I am prepared for the worst :)

atj: Maybe it's time to fill the djembe repo with the code you have so far, now that there is a handful of potential contributors?

outsidecontext: what's your GH username?

atj: phw

ah yes, I did know that, sorry!

:)
