man i hate typographical apostrophe, i wish that change had never came in :/

Do you think this edit note is a bit verbose? https://musicbrainz.org/edit/90927151

I find it hard to explain the concepts / guidelines succinctly

to be honest, given they've been an editor for ~2 years and only submitted 130 edits it probably wasn't worth the effort.

*shakes head* https://musicbrainz.org/edit/50457707

atj: ah, isn't beatport lovely

yeah I mean that comment covers a lot of non-obvious details

derwin: can you release a track on beatport called "original mix" please?

that original mix thing is a desecration

atj: no, I'm going to call it "Original Mix (Original Mix)" so it'll be "Original Mix (Original Mix) (Original Mix)" on beatport

it's "(Original Mix)" all the way down

as one can see on itunes, the tracks are not named with (Original Mix) anywhere but the stupid auto beatport crap

so... who is going to remove all that crap? :(

I will, using the tracklist parser and vim :)

yeah lol, that's how I'd do it

I bet there could be a really depressing report called "beatport releases that have way too much Original Mix"

the fact it was submitted with a UAE iTunes link seems somehow fitting

explaining how recordings work in MB is pretty difficult

I'm still tripped out that discogs tried to do recordings and then just... abandoned it

did they? wasn't aware of that

huh, i wondered what happen t othat

also doesn't the latest beatport import actually strip the "(original mix)" thing?

There's a jesus2099 script that has among others a find and replace with regexes widget for the tracklist page

I love that one

It also probably paints half the website pink, but luckily you can pick what bits you want :D

the beatport importer does, yes.

why would anyone import from beatport (or anywhere) withouth an import script :D

eff. i wish batch approving wasnt so tedious (open in a new tab the "approve" button)

aaa why is ther ea page 2

ah, that's the last on of the fuckers

oh..

!m atj for such a detailed and thorough and *friendly* edit note

You're doing good work, atj for such a detailed and thorough and *friendly* edit note!

ew. thia ia one of those "it has a dj mix as last track" sort of things

ack. if it was only possible t ofind the person who mixed it, thne that coudl n the trakc artist

could b*

erh

could *be*

CatQuest: thanks <3

:D

.. when trying ot look at the last 3 tracks on https://www.beatport.com/release/toolroom-ibiza... i get 500 error :?

the tracks are probably too long and break the site

huh

isn't beatport lovely? :P

I find it so slow that it makes it really irritating to use

hmm, I have a digital "label" that appears to just be a copyright holder for the main label.

reosarevok: any thoughts?

https://beta.musicbrainz.org/search?query=hyper... has a separate company entry for the (C) but dunno how this one works

I think this another example of how digital labels often aren't labels

OK... am I dumb or is this a bug... I have (well... now "had") files with embedded cover art. I set Options > Tags to "Clear existing tags" AND "Keep embedded images when clearing tags". I also deactivated the cover art providers (because I didn't want new ones pulled and overwrite the existing), and it still deleted the cover art from the files... am I missing something here? Unfortunately the right click menu on the cover

art to keep the current isn't present when there's no new cover art found...

OK turns out I may be dumb and should have checked this before typing... the covers are actually still in the files, Picard just clears the preview in the bottom right after writing for some reason

I'm sorry but I always forget. If an artist records a different version of a song from the album version (in this case, an acoustic version) for a TV music show and this gets released as a youtube video (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuzP1qBSelk with 44 seconds of presentation at the beginning). Should I add that as a standalone recording? or single? also, should I use the real song length as length? or the video length?

I would use standalone recording and the real song length (which is the video length minus 44 seconds) but I prefer to ask and be sure

Standalone with the video length

For the video

ok, thanks!

ugh : https://www.discogs.com/release/183570-DJ-Assau...

so... this tracklist is just completely wrong. for example track 18 is "Wouldn't You Like to Be a Hoe" by DJ Slugo

also, fuck me, my external DVD drive does *not* like this CD :(

keeps disappearing off the USB bus

any thoughts on how I should actually be entering this into mb? like what I should do with track 18?

never seen that before... disc doesn't seem damaged... must be the weird data tracks, or something.

wow, doesn't show up *at all* with the same drive connected to a mac :/

jesus, and a linux box says : "device not accepting address 58, error -71"
