Hey! I am looking for advice on how to use the downloaded data from (http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/data/f…) So if I untar this, how do I establish a client to it? It doesn't seem to be SQL files...

if you're looking to run musicbrainz as a service, starting from the full export is probably not what you want to do
(to clarify, you want to use the dump at the appropriate step in the above process, instead of outside of that context)

Hey derwin! Nope just trying to sort and filter some data out. Yeah, there are some API clients which are probably better, but I am still trying to wrap my head around the ER model
2023-02-03 03459, 2023
derwin
if they're not SQL files, what *are* they? CSVs?
2023-02-03 03418, 2023
derwin
if they're CSVs, you would load them into a schema created by : "./admin/InitDb.pl --createdb --clean
2023-02-03 03439, 2023
derwin
yeah, looks like (T)CSVs

Ah, they didn't have an extension. Thank you :) I wanted to make a fan site and create a more accurate discography for a niche artist I like. I started scrapping (following best practices, tos, etc) for YouTube Music, Discogs, Deezer, Spotify, Genius, etc and then realized how unstandardized it is across providers and how much more complicated

music related data models (specifically for streaming services) are, especially in comparison to how people just think of it
2023-02-03 03412, 2023
derwin
yeah. and lots of services are ... badly modeled, or just plain don't model things

and the things "we" (or at least I) care about (songs, their lyrics and when they were produced) are second fiddle to things like link to the 10x versions of the album released in different markets (which I care less about, but is still kind of important). Not to mention, extended versions, alt versions, remixes, naming conventions "Track --

Extened" vs Track (Extended) vs "Track Ext" vs Extended Track, etc and it is painful

and here is MusicBrainz which I can use as a scaffold to map meta data from these streaming services too

is it possible for any admin to check whether my userid is taken in https://musicbrainz.org/ database? I mean is there anyway to see it is taken other than the registration part telling me it is already taken?
not sure if this is the right place but i have a physical cd that i was going to rip to flac. the album is in musicbrainz but the discid wasnt associated with it so i submitted that. the problem is now that the artists real name is used rather than his performance/artist name. whats the best/correct way to change the artist name for an album?
2023-02-03 03451, 2023

specifically, the album is "The Second Coming" by "Roger Troutman II" (his artist/performer name), but in musicbrainz its listed at "The Second Coming" by "Roger Troutman Jr." (his real name)
2023-02-03 03425, 2023
outsidecontext
}8]: If that's how he is credited on the cover than the artist credit on the release should be changed to "Roger Troutman II" I think
2023-02-03 03438, 2023

If you edit the release on MB you can click on the edit button next to the artist name. There you can enter a name how the artist should be credited (which can be different from the main display name of that artist)
2023-02-03 03408, 2023
}8]
yup, thats how hes credited on the cover. you can even see it in the artwork thats already uploaded for the album
2023-02-03 03409, 2023
}8]
for an edit note should i just put something like `these edits correct info to match the physical release`?
2023-02-03 03449, 2023
outsidecontext
}8]: most importantly I would reference the cover, especially if it is available for this release.
2023-02-03 03400, 2023

the cover/booklet is already uploaded so i didnt even have to scan it. should i just say `please refer to the albums artwork` or provide the actual url to the artwork tab?

i submitted the edit and refreshed but its not fixed. do edits need to be approved by someone before they're `live` or??
edits can be approved early by so-called "autoeditors", but they'll also automatically apply after a week depending on the result of voting.

Anyone here familiar with musicbrainzngs client? I call

yields 57.
2023-02-03 03429, 2023

So what do I do... get_artist_by_id doesn't have a limit / offset option.... Adding `aliases` to `get_artist_by_id`, doesn't give me aliases IDs to check against...

thanks for the info kepstin. i only just created a musicbrainz login to submit the discid and correct the artist name so hopefully whoever votes on it will give it a look and a thumbs up.

Sum: I'm not quite sure I understand what your question is. Your second query seems to be allright. Instead of a search query you could also do a lookup, e.g. https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/work/?&artist=f6…

outsidecontext, hmmm I can try just using the python `requests` library to make the API calls. It is that there in the link you provided there is the `work-count":677` and calling, from the python module, `get_artist_by_id` (asking for works) vs `search_works` gets two different work-counts. Also the python api makes so that
2023-02-03 03454, 2023

`artist=<artist-name-as-str>` and `arid` is artist id. So a bit of a different mapping.
2023-02-03 03455, 2023
Sum
Regardless it is a good idea to try pop open the hood, check out what api call `get_artist_by_id` actually does, then compare to native API requests to see if there may just be an incorrect record somewhere. `work-counts` could be an aggregated variable that gets incremented / decremented upon update and in one place it could be out of sync vs
