I question my sanity for adding all the credits on drama CDs...

all these minor seiyuu not having credits pages, scattered through wikis

https://musicbrainz.org/release/35498395-edb0-4... behold. orz

I'm going to fix the rest of the drama CDs in this series

wow, that's a lot of ... credits in a script I have zero idea about

yeah... I wonder if there's a better way of adding these. though tbh, I oftentimes just tag them as "Drama CD" and avoid all the credits

because it's a seriously long string lol

the chobits credits were halfway there, so I decided to fix and finish the job ^^;

kepstin: IIRC I have a pull request for the release group bit, FWIW :)

d4rkie maddest respect for anyone who does audio dramas haha! I have added credits for a couple... but hey, pretty fun seeing so many pages get connected through a release!

oh wow all in the release artist field huh!

Crazy JP releases. This is what I'm used to: https://musicbrainz.org/release/9dd53391-7d7d-4...

Somewhat bizarrely, this discussion has intersected with me on multiple levels. The most obscure is a band that I follow that has covered Dylan and was included in the previously mentioned collection / series. 😀

atj: have you considered tidal support for atisket?

yyoung: weird, tidal doesn't automatically get a "stream for free" relationship?

derwin: I personally won't be adding any new vendors to atisket. As I've mentioned before the code is not at all enjoyable to work on, for a variety of reasons.

I see, yeah.

atj: did you say you're working on a replacement?

Also, are any plugin/script/helper devs taking donations... *cough nudge*

aerozol: yes, I've written a Ruby gem API client for Deezer, Spotify, Discogs, Bandcamp and MusicBrainz. I then implemented a very basic Rails app that used the client to pull data from Bandcamp.

However I never got to the stage of writing the import logic etc.

derwin: is tidal free at all? My understanding is that they're specifically fee-only, has that chnaged?

*changed

The client was designed to make it easy to add additional vendors, using base classes for each client and common objects like barcodes etc.

reosarevok: oh, maybe it's just a free *trial*

I mean, I never looked into them after the launch

So no idea how they work now :D

reosarevok: I think you can get access to an API if you email the devs? Or is that Qobuz...

I guess I just mis-tagged two releases as "stream for free" from tidal

There's MBS-10621

MBS-10621: Add autoselect + sidebar for Tidal URLs https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-10621

I guess "streaming page" is correct

?

That's the "not specifically free" one, yes :)

yvanzo is marked as working on that but I guess he stopped in hope of an actual answer to the questions there and never got one? :)

hrm, apparently there is a free tier

" TIDAL Access is a free streaming service providing users with curated channels that feature original content from the TIDAL catalog in addition to select on-demand content. "

" TIDAL Access is only available in the United States.

" You can use Tidal Access from the web or using any of the Tidal apps, but you can only listen to the curated content on the home page — if you search for specific tracks, you'll be asked to buy a subscription. "

Hmm

I assume that content changes though

Maybe not the "original content", just the "select on-demand content"

That sounds amazing atj. Do it > <

aerozol: we'll get there once I have some more time. Several people have offered to help. I think kellnerd is a bit annoyed because I've mentioned the client repeatedly and he keep saying "why don't you just release it".

THe problem is, I'm don't like releasing something I'm not at least close to 100% happy with.

*I don't like

Maybe you can do some sort of private repo first and invite a few people who want to improve it with you?

Not that I'm volunteering, I'm busy as it is :D

reosarevok: you do more important work :)

Ohhh congrats on your big day atj! And the wedding thing as well hehe

aerozol: :)

oh great, my home server just threw several MCE errors

reosarevok: did you see my comments about the artist URL seeding?

atj: yeah. Hmm. Maybe I'm misremembering from stuff like https://beta.musicbrainz.org/event/create?rels....

derwin, reosarevok: have a patch for tidal URLs, indeed waiting for a confirmation.

yvanzo: do you remember if we also have a way to seed URLs to non-release editors in the same way we can seed other rels (like above)?

reosarevok: it clearly works, it's just the JS isn't handling it correctly

I imagine it worked in the old URL relationship editor

I don't remember

see: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/edb1d78d-70bb-49...

field is added, type is set correctly, input text is empty

atj: can you add a ticket? :)

thanks

Search is back on (was off for a few hours).

atj: it's not even really empty, btw

If you submit, it works

As long as you haven't touched the "empty" field

So it's some clash of church and state

I mean, data and state :p

atj: are you adding a ticket? If not I guess I can, do let me know

reosarevok: just ask me if I'll add a ticket :P

atj: will you add a ticket?

reosarevok: yes

don't add unproductive work for yourself :)

reosarevok: MBS-11960

MBS-11960: Artist editor URL seeding displays empty text field https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-11960

atj: btw are you atj on mb too? (I'm "following" people on lb to see musictastes)

CatQuest: yes

seriously, what is up with the recording search functionality? I mean this is ridiculous:

atj: it prioritizes duration matches

But maybe it should remove less weight from unknown (rather than mismatching) duration

bitmap worked on that last IIRC

you mean include more weigh (i too have this issue where it's the right recording but since it's ?:?? it's way low down)

Well, I think we specifically remove "matchingness" from ones where the durations do not fit

But I might be misremembering because I haven't looked at this code in moths

nor butterflies
