        yeahhhhhhhhhhh i dont know why people dont just learn the correct format
      • 2022-02-06 03755, 2022

      • Erin
        most of what i see is people using translated japanese as the "official" track titles
      • 2022-02-06 03701, 2022

      • Erin
        because thats what they want to read it as
      • 2022-02-06 03707, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        Erin: yea. that behaviour left a bad taste for "plex" in my mouth
      • 2022-02-06 03721, 2022

      • Erin
        28 of the edits in my open edits are specifically correcting that https://musicbrainz.org/user/radicalerin/edits/op…
      • 2022-02-06 03756, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        happy to see plex user be so productive ^__^
      • 2022-02-06 03758, 2022

      • Erin
        because it creates one for the release, one for each song, and one for the metadata
      • 2022-02-06 03703, 2022

      • Erin
        oh all that is just one save
      • 2022-02-06 03718, 2022

      • Erin
        one "enter edit", 28 "edits" as a result
      • 2022-02-06 03737, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        those are recording edits
      • 2022-02-06 03744, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        anyway tht's ot a big deal :)
      • 2022-02-06 03748, 2022

      • Erin

      • 2022-02-06 03743, 2022

      • Erin
        is that someone doing wrong edits or something?
      • 2022-02-06 03750, 2022

      • KassOtsimine

      • 2022-02-06 03718, 2022

      • Erin
        but it depends
      • 2022-02-06 03726, 2022

      • Erin
        sometimes i just get 1 edit for adding vgmdb to a release
      • 2022-02-06 03735, 2022

      • zer0bitz has quit
      • 2022-02-06 03736, 2022

      • Erin
        sometimes they didnt use the japanese names so i get 30 at once XD
      • 2022-02-06 03740, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        adding the link? yea
      • 2022-02-06 03720, 2022

      • Erin
        so i suppose i technically average 7 to 8 edits per day
      • 2022-02-06 03702, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        eeeh
      • 2022-02-06 03730, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        do yo uuse any import scripts?
      • 2022-02-06 03737, 2022

      • Erin
        for plex? or for mb?
      • 2022-02-06 03741, 2022

      • Erin
        cause no either way 8b
      • 2022-02-06 03712, 2022

      • Erin
        although it depends on how you view it
      • 2022-02-06 03724, 2022

      • Erin
        picard is a mass edit and save system that helps automatically match files to data
      • 2022-02-06 03725, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        hm, those will massivly ease work for you when eg. importing vgmdb releases for example
      • 2022-02-06 03735, 2022

      • Erin
        so that might arguably be considered something like that
      • 2022-02-06 03744, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        yea, i know-. i was here whne picard was first developed 8)
      • 2022-02-06 03745, 2022

      • Erin
        oh no im rarely doing that
      • 2022-02-06 03725, 2022

      • Erin
        one thing i do for other stuff
      • 2022-02-06 03744, 2022

      • Erin
        like, for importing anime or whatever
      • 2022-02-06 03753, 2022

      • Erin
        i use a tool called advanced renamer
      • 2022-02-06 03716, 2022

      • Erin
        and i have scripted some stuff for it, so that it can clean things up nicely
      • 2022-02-06 03754, 2022

      • Erin
        and you can save the profiles or whatever, so i do that
      • 2022-02-06 03705, 2022

      • Erin
        it's mostly a series of regex steps
      • 2022-02-06 03727, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        yea i mean like import from like https://paradiserecordshtml.bandcamp.com/album/cr… to mb (the script makes it so importing is doable in afew licks, rather than, say having to copypaste things back and forth)
      • 2022-02-06 03743, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        lol few clicks, not licks :D
      • 2022-02-06 03752, 2022

      • Erin
        im downf or whatever 8b
      • 2022-02-06 03711, 2022

      • Erin
        oh yeah i just copy paste when editing mb
      • 2022-02-06 03722, 2022

      • Erin
        cause honestly, half the time im making decisions, not just blindly copying
      • 2022-02-06 03747, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        sure. but import script *really* really* *REALLY* makes things easier. yo ucna edit not copypaste
      • 2022-02-06 03751, 2022

      • Erin
        like "well this time vgm says it's tv animation potato pancakes live vocal album" but the actual cover says "potato pancakes live vocal album"
      • 2022-02-06 03754, 2022

      • Erin
        or whatever
      • 2022-02-06 03713, 2022

      • Erin
        so i do consider that stuff
      • 2022-02-06 03756, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        .. potato pancake is like.. lefse :notsurefry.jpg:
      • 2022-02-06 03736, 2022

      • Erin
        hm? are you asking if the thing i just made up is an anime?
      • 2022-02-06 03755, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        oh no just.. potato pankcake is lefse isn't it?

      • 2022-02-06 03724, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        for transliterations. yea i use "latin equivalent"
      • 2022-02-06 03742, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        so like * isntead of the star they use for example
      • 2022-02-06 03754, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        like in that one.. "Viva rock"
      • 2022-02-06 03718, 2022

      • Erin

      • 2022-02-06 03729, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        orignal was like "biba ⭐ rocku" but translated i used "viva * rock"
      • 2022-02-06 03736, 2022

      • Erin
        im not up to the energy level of developing a bullshit special character mapping
      • 2022-02-06 03747, 2022

      • Erin
        if they're gonna be weird im not translating it

      • 2022-02-06 03719, 2022

      • Erin
        my indicator is that im currently good, lag-wise
      • 2022-02-06 03703, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        ehm. no i'm certna there is lag, ircloud is showing the that my sentence is in "posting" mode for several seconds after i sfinish typing. several messages are cray before they are psoted. while others talk

      • 2022-02-06 03705, 2022

      • Erin
        mb, vgm, and amazon disagree on a barcode T.T
      • 2022-02-06 03708, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        🤷
      • 2022-02-06 03738, 2022

      • Erin
        99% sure vgm is wrong this time
      • 2022-02-06 03739, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        if vgmdb and amazon disagree i'd see if they have scans
      • 2022-02-06 03745, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        lilly amazon's is crap anyway
      • 2022-02-06 03705, 2022

      • KassOtsimine
        likly*
      • 2022-02-06 03723, 2022

      • KassOtsimine

        their barcode for the original item is actually a special edition one

        if you look up their wrong barcode, it brings you to cdjapan with the special edition

        i wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion which one is better, they are both likely fairly wrong

        since discogs blocked the fetching of the full-sized images i get them from allmusic, usually the allmusic ones are quite high resolution and are great for a reference
