reosarevok: apologies, I didn't realise that was how it worked. Is there no SSO between MB and the wiki?

derwin: Are you still using marlonob's atisket? It's been implemented for atj's version for a while already, but we patched it to run on marlonob's version yesterday

basically yes, ECAU will add a link to atisket cover art which, when clicked, will automatically load the cover art into the upload form (but you still have to manually submit). Saves a couple of clicks

hi there, just wanted to ask about making track names in picard for vinyls become A1, A2 ect. currently filenames have 01 - artist - track name no matter what. any fix or ideas please?

Goldmaster: IIRC, beets supports that.
Goldmaster
only issue is thats cli
derwin
I have no idea whether Picard does, just saying that it could...
I have it configured such that, if the vinyl trackname is defined, it tags with both index and the non-numeric index.
Goldmaster
yeah just like that but for vinyls only or whatever musicbrainz says
reosarevok
outsidecontext, rdswift might have tips. Otherwise, the forum is usually a good place for Picard scripting questions
It's almost certainly doable
Goldmaster
thank you
rdswift
Goldmaster, is this for the metadata tags, or file naming (or both)?
outsidecontext
Goldmaster: %tracknumber% is numeric only, intentionally. But there is also the %_musicbrainz_tracknumber% variable with the track no. written as on the MB release, e.g. vinyl numbering
Not sure we have this documented, rdswift?
rdswift
I don't think we have this documented (because I never knew about it). I'll add it.
outsidecontext
No, does not seem to be in the docs. So many hidden little things in the code ;)
Thanks

so i just have to replace %tracknumber% with %_musicbrainz_tracknumber%
rdswift
I believe so. I suggest trying it first on a copy of a few files to make sure that it does what you expect.
Goldmaster
yeah sure
rdswift
And if it doesn't work as expected, please let us know so that we can look into it. Thanks.
Goldmaster
humm, according the previews, its showing the tracks numbers as 00

when merging stuff, is it possible to do anything with the final product, like change track names or add references? [my current case is this: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/86685372 ] Or ... do I have to wait until the merge goes through and clean it up then?

and would i just make the changes to the "into" item?
ugh ... i think some fan did the same thing for a bunch of this anime's stuff
they duplicated each release in it's group, but changed the artist to the band name from the anime
rdswift
Goldmaster, that's odd because it works properly here. Are you matching your files up to a release retrieved from MusicBrainz or just using the metadata in the files (which won't make the %_musicbrainz_tracknumber% available).
Another thing to check is that you don't have it included in a `$num()` function, which would interpret the 'A1' etc as non numbers and thus return zero padded to the specified length.
aerozol joined the channel
If you want the 'A1' padded to 'A01' then you would need to do something like $left(%_musicbrainz_tracknumber%,1)$num($substr(%_musicbrainz_tracknumber%,1,),2) instead.

Then again, that will break for non vinyl numbering. You'd have to first test with `$firstalphachar(%_musicbrainz_tracknumber%)` to see if it returns "#" in which case it is not in vinyl numbering format.
derwin
in beets, what I do is : track_and_or_track_alt: u'%02i (%s)' % (track,track_alt) if ('track_alt' in locals() and track_alt != str(track)) else u'%02i' % (track)
