Aerozol (@_discord_537897767968833566:chatbrainz.org) i sync'ed this channel's permissions with the rest of the category/server to get the bot working. let me know if you want special permissions on this channel.

Thanks lucifer !

so, I've enjoyed adding some of the CDs I have that aren't already in the system (I'm doing my part!), but twice now I've hit a rut. When trying to add an artist that needs disambiguation, that disambiguation field is always red and never lets me submit, no matter what I type in there

or it lets me submit, but then fails to contact the db and just errors out :(

ok, I might be dumb, nvm me. It seems the check mark ACTUALLY being checked makes a difference :(

the checkbox that confirms you want to create a new artist?

I think so. probably missed it because it is really hard when the Artist/Credit pop up is on top of the form to fill out if the artist isn't found

also, is there a way to add disc IDs without using picard?

abcde gives me the disc ID, but I'm not using picard for tagging

JollyRgrs: There's no UI sald

*sadly

third-party tools can submit disc IDs using an API, e.g. whipper is a CLI ripper that does this

that is a shame. i'd love to contribute that data as well, but alas

I'm using ARM (automatic ripping machine) which uses abcde in the backend to tag music, then i use mp3tag for tagging (i've used it for forever). also, i assume picard ONLY does MB database and doesn't also pull from discogs?

yeah, Picard is tied to MB

if you really want you can use Picard to submit the disc ID without tagging your files though

(assuming you can run Picard on the system where you have your disc drive)

yeah, i just don't feel like installing it and running it JUST to do that. i am ripping with my CD-ROM USB attached to an rpi, served up via iscsi... so I _CAN_ connect it to my windows desktop PC... but that'd interrupt my ripping process

I'm roughly half way through at 350 CDs ripped

JollyRgrs: this is an example of a web request to add them https://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/attach?toc=1+10+1...

yeah, so how would I easily formulate the part telling it what release to associate the disc id with?

Idk if you can do that automatically tbh, I always use the web gui for that

if it's too annoying to add the disc ID you should not feel pressured to

the lack of UI for certain operations like this is really annoying

(ISRCs are another one where we rely on third-party tools for whatever reason)

There's another site I'm pretty sure that allows you to submit the toc and it gets the disc id for submission but I don't remember what it's called

lazybookwyrm[m]: doesn't have to be automatic, if I can do it via web UI. maybe I don't understand what all the numbers are in front where it has toc= . I only see the tracks=10 and the id fields that I know to change what to

toc is the table of contents for the CD, I believe you need it for any discid submissions

I don't know if the eac-log-lookup tool can submit pure discIDs, but maybe? You can check the other tools here as well: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/External_Resources

Also a couple tools mentioned at the bottom of this page https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Disc_ID_Calculation

lazybookwyrm[m]: thanks. yeah, there's TOC information (as in number of tracks, etc.) in the abcde logs, but not "toc" with the format in that example url you gave me

eh, i'll just have to leave this one be i think

Yeah, I noticed in ARM's abcde config they mention turning TOC on, so doesn't look like it's a default

oh nice!

Depending on the TOC format you can also try the “cdtoc” tool/website at the link I sent

JollyRgrs, YOu can paste the TOC from your ripping logs to https://eac-log-lookup.blogspot.com/

That's the site I was thinking of that I couldn't find, thanks Lotheric

not my site but... I use it often :)
