one of the cases i have for a cd is made out of paper and opens up to a plastic holder for the disc in the middle not in a sleeve. what packaging type would i set it as?

bittorrent isn't a good torrent site as the og developers have sold it to a company in China who run a bit coin operation and were using it to shovel money

idk if i missed something but what are you talking about

I was waiting for the shill

zayd: I believe that is a Digipak.

Is the plastic glued to the paper?

you mentioned earlier that bittorrent would be a good archive site

the protocol, not the site

ok

Their torrents are kinda bugged iirc

Or at least their RSS feed is

zayd: uhm you're talking about picard or musicbrinz here, kinda confusing. you can't really set type in picard but you can set on musicbrainz, then there is no "tree" but fields to fill in you can add afaik. then you cna load the edited release into picard and tag with...

[03:32] duckfromdisc[m] when will they make a winamp one

oh hells yea :DD

[18:01] zayd JollyRgrs: I'd say (most) of Google is pretty replaceable, with the exception of YouTube

honestly don't consider yt a part of google because it used to be its own thing 😤

afaik the protocol is just "torrents" ?

Jigen: i'm serious too because id use winamp a lot more if it meant scrobbling

thats the main reason im using navidrome on my computers at this point as opposed to just for my iphone which won't scrobble from any local player

crism: the plastic isn't glued

i got it used so it may have been at one point actually now that i think about it

ok yeah those are glue spots in the corners

that's a digipak

myself, I want a gorram itnes scrobbler T__T

...

myself, I want a gorram itunes scrobbler T__T

aerozol: see STYLE-2606 😅

STYLE-2606: Broadcast style seriously detracting from podcast experience on listenbrainz https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-2606

if a cd doesn't have the enhanced cd mark on its packaging but still has both audio and normal computer files on one disc, would i still mark it as enhanced cd?

yeah, it's an enhanced cd

also known as CD-Extra, CD-Plus and CD+

audio tracks first and a data track in the end

Lotheric[m]: ok

alright so the release is added

https://musicbrainz.org/release/20da69fb-ff58-4... needs to be linked to

https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/8a6a84dc-... this somehow

i wonder if maybe it would make sense to mark the songs as being "sampled by" from one album to the other?

is there any reliable way to view a facebook profile without an account? trying to find more info about an artist i'm adding and that seems to be one of the only sources

i wish

the js disabling trick you can do with news sites doesn't work sadly

I have a dummy account just to see pages on facebook

i should probably do that too

just be sure to not link your personal email to the dummy account

create a separate email

yeah i'm using mail.tm in hopes that it works

apparently i was immediately banned before i could get past onboarding

fuck this site

yep

for some reason i was able to get it working by using tor browser without an account

didn't even need to go to the facebook .onion

damn i would be a normal editor by now if it weren't for the fact that 36 of my 37 edits so far were auto edits

if an artist releases an album and then releases another one with remakes of each track is that a cover

duckfromdisc[m]: like taylor swift redoing her own albums?

sort of yeah

i wouldn't call it a cover if it is by the same artist, it is just a rerecording (For taylor) or a remixing/remastering otherwise

but that's just me, idk MB rules, so don't take my word for it

because as far as i know, it's basically the artist remaking the same songs, to the point the only thing keeping me from 100% certainty is that it's just cause it's the same artist

I was wondering the same thing myself last week lol

https://musicbrainz.org/release/30290452-7a57-4... not a release i submitted but an example..

actually not even that release

in the context of doing unplugged cuts of older plugged tune

cause theres also a streaming one that has new titles https://musicbrainz.org/release/3aad27f5-67e8-4...

don't listen to her so i wouldn't know, but don't the 'taylor's version' albums have no transformative quality compared with the originals ?

jeez that's kind of a mess actually... two releases of the same album in the same release group, that have the same tracks but under different recordings because one set has a "(2)" at the end, and they're both a remake of another album

[strike-thru]this is why record labels matter[/strike-thru] i mean what

~~

mods fuss when you use discord markdown in the bridged channels 😄

oh is that so?

sorry then nevermind

yeah i know right lol

i find it odd that you can't represent those tracks as the same recording since we don't have a feature to use the same recording but have a different name

be sure to indicate who you're replying to. don't edit messages, just send addendums, etc

i guess that's what the release being in the same release group is for

as for replying, this i know about

actually if i'm not mistaken, the concept you're speaking of would be the tracklist representation

(replied to you since you, too, are on discord 😉 )

getting fairly off topic but i feel like adding a reply feature to the bot shouldn't be too difficult

i.e., the tracklist can have a variation of the recording's name, but link to the differently-titled recording

even just a "Reply to duck: 'i find it odd...'"
