I get the whole vetting process so there aren't bad updates, but man, when I'm in the middle of ripping CDs and I find an edit that needs to be done, I don't want to wait days/week for my edit to go through. I make a change on discogs and it immediately shows up when I scan again for that
I'm sure my voice won't change things and again, I get why there is a delay... it just sucks for when I'm trying to currently tag something and "do the right thing" and fix the entry (or put a new one in)

Yeah, I get you, I've had to put CDs to the side before too
For what it's worth, there is the vote-request places on forum and Discord that you can ask for votes if you're trying to push something through sooner
JollyRgrs
nice, but i'm a bit impatient
sadly... i'll just make edits in discogs if i want immediate :/
i already had to wait a delay before i could make any edits AT ALL on MB... and then after that, I have to wait for the edits to be voted through
again, I get why that is there... I'm not asking for a change, it just pushes some people away

i think a big part of it is that not a lot of people actually vote on edits
you only need 3 positive votes for an edit to go through, either immediately or in 24 hours

JollyRgrs: find some good friends on MB who share the same interest as you and cross-verify your edits
As said by afro, 3 yes and it gets applied

volumetrique0[m]: yeah. i'm not trying to be some horrible person, but I legit just don't care that much. I don't have friends in the MB scene, my online friends are just normally into IT or games. and again, I'd want like... < 2 min approval
that's just too much work for me
like I said, I get it, i'm not asking for a change, just making it known how it affects some people's use of the platform

FWIW I just looked at your Thug Love edits and approved them ;-)
It would be nice to add the rear cover art to confirm all the featured artist credits but I found a rear cover scan on discogs.
JollyRgrs
Cheezmo_: thanks and yeah, tbh i hate scanning the rear b/c taking the rear out with the two sides is such a PITA. I only sometimes do it
i'll try and at least scan the front covers if they aren't there
Cheezmo_
I always try to do front, medium, and rear. I am usually ditching the jewel case anyway so taking it apart is not a big deal.
Ran out of space for jewel cases years ago, lol.

yeah, they crank it down to 600x600 i think... def. not so great in that aspect
Cheezmo_: not all discs are jewel cases, a bit harder to preserve the cardboard cases. I still have my CD/DVD/BD cases on the old school racks in the corner of a room. I'd put them in a box somewhere, but those boxes get HEAVY... and I still don't want them in a non-conditioned space
lazybookwyrm[m]
Actually scanning stuff atm lol
Cheezmo_
Trust me, I know. I have a collection of SACD, DVD-Audio, Blu-ray Audio, etc, all kinds of packaging. For cardboard it is pretty easy to open them up and scan the front and back together, upload that then crop it to just the front and upload that so it is all there but with a nice front cover separate.

I just set up a screen to auto open the scans so I can make sure it worked all right and don't find something rescan worth when I go back to crop and straighten stuff

Does Picard have some weird limit on filename sizes? It's refusing to name one of my albums properly when the actual name fits in the filesystem limits
Oh, is that what the 259 char path name option is for?
nope, doesn't look like it
Cheezmo_
Is it around 260 characters?
zayd
hold on i'll have to check where it cuts off at exactly i manually moved one of the directories in hopes of correcting it earlier
