terinjokes: I presume the disc id/TOC shows 11 tracks?

yep

are you sure there's not multiple versions of it?

(the cd appears to not be in discogs at a quick check...)

the release was imported from discogs

url?

oh found it

it had the same mistakes, but my disc matched the stamped ID. I added scans there.

approved

kinda just looks like whoever entered it into Discogs at first just messed it up

the UI there for subtracks is not intuitive, so that was my guess too

thanks for the approval

thanks for caring enough to put in the effort!

hey all!

I have a question for someone like reosarevok et all, but I think he might be traveling now.

does MB have a tag that is used to denote christmas music?

Hi everyone, i am looking for a "fact table" database, with track popularity, streams or monthly listeners. Do you have any idea to have access to this kind of database?

hi Babarpop!

is this world wide data that you are looking for?

Thank you Robert

Yes, i will look for a worlwide data, but a country by country fact data base could also be very very helpful

mayhem any idea?

hey there, i am satyam from bhopal, india

i am looking to work on ui/ux implementation of fresh releases in listenBrainz during gsoc

just wanted to say HIII !!

Babarpop: I don't think a global data set exists, or even country by country.

and if they existed, you'd not get access to them. the music industry always has everything closed.

reosarevok: thanks

mayhem thank you for your help !

so there is no way to force Picard to write a 2-digit entry for DISCNUMBER, TOTALDISCS, &/or DISCTOTAL?

i didn't see anything in options (which belongs under edit> preferences in linux)

iconoclasthero: I don’t think so, but the file naming script can format it: $num(%tracknumber%,2)

i'm doing that in bash

i'd rather work on learning bash scripting than picard's

plus i have other tools in bash, e.g., find

iconoclasthero: you can add a script in Options > Scripting to set the track number to two digits: "$set(tracknumber,$num(%tracknumber%,2))". that works if the tag format allows it (i.e. it does store the track numbers as strings and not integers, like mp4 does)

👍

hmm

i have something in there.

when I exported it, it has an id: e959208f-8d35-4778-9d8d-57422059d9cb at the bottom?

can i look up that uuid?

or is that the uuid for the script?

cuz it seems like i'm already forcing 2 digits for the track:

$if($gt(%totaltracks%,9),$set(tracknumber,$num(%tracknumber%,2)))

is there somewhere other than picard > options > file naming i can test out the scripting language?

I think in file naming it is best as you can get a preview for the changes. But file naming scripts won't change your tags but your file names. So if you want it changed in your tags you need to have a script in Options > Scripting

But to test a script you can always apply it manually to a file via context menu

then see the changes in the tags at the bottom

with the first part of that, i got that.

i'm asking if ther is something like https://regex101.com/ (a regex tester) for the picard scripting

the only one i know of is that mini one inside picard.

no that I know of

which is for file naming, not tagging as you mentiopned.

k

i'm running picard in a docker remotely so it's more complicated

but the script "$set(tracknumber,$num(%tracknumber%,2))" will format the track number with two digits. Do the same for "discnumber", "totaldiscs" and "totaltracks" and it should do what you want. Add all four statements to a script in Options > Scripting and make sure it is set to enabled so it runs automatically on all releaes loaded to the right

the scripts run either automatically for all date loaded on the right or you can run it manually on selected items

*data

$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),$set(totaldiscs,$num(%totaldiscs%,2)),$set(discnumber,$num(%discnumber%,2)))

all four...

ok, hadn't thought about total tracks.

with the above, it seems like it's taking care of total discs but not disc number...

do i need to break that into two if statements?

no, remove the comma. the if is $if(condition,then,else), so your second $set is only run if totaldiscs is not greater 1

oh

something like this https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/FqJtedT0/

but you can't have $set(do more than one thing) ?

no, $set sets one tag to a value

but you can have multiple sets

yep

that's what i understood.

hey, i saw you took a look at that file.

thanks

so i think you caught another issue...

if i wan't 2 digit track numbers all the time (and thus total tracks), i need to change that first sript i pasted

so just $set(tracknumber,$num(%tracknumber%,2)))$set(totaltracks,$num(%totaltracks%,2)))
