adding a gender to an artist who doesn't have one isn't an auto-edit? https://musicbrainz.org/edit/87003114

anyone got a good source that lists comptiq magazine release dates?

historically, i mean

remastering isn't a new recording, right?

derwin: it is, but changing the area is not

And no, no new recording

reosarevok: oh, I missed that area was in the same edit.

reosarevok: ping

derwin: remastering may or may not be a new recording; the term is too vague to make any absolute statements.

(in some cases it might refer to going back to original tapes and making what's really a new mix, which would mean a new musicbrainz recording)

kepstin: I'd say that as a general rule of thumb remastering does not require a new recording, however in some cases the term is used inaccurately and may include re-editing or re-mixing, in which case a new recording should be used.

I'd be surprised a new recording is needed in more than 1% of cases

Before I get yelled at, what's the standards for cd cover art?  The discog for a release has images but they're not on MB.

I don't believe there are any specific standards, beyond the obvious that it should match the exact release.

I've been yelled at for the aspect ratio before.  That's why I'm checking.

those look fine, the cropping on the rear is a bit crap

I'm just planning on copying over the cover since I'm lazy. :)

PelvicSorcery: do you use userscripts?

Just the bandcamp one.  Is there a discog image copy script?

ROpdebee wrote a brilliant one, it saves so much time. It'll import all the Discogs images in one click

the repo URL is https://github.com/ROpdebee/mb-userscripts

Okay, what am I missing?  I installed the script but I don't see any import button on MB or discogs.

You don't see the "Import from Discogs" button on the right?

No, because I didn't look at that screen. :D

Should I tag the back of the booklet with booklet as well?

There doesn't seem to be a specific tag for it.

I imagine you'd tick "Back" and "Booklet", but it's not clear from https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Cover_Art/Types

The Back tag explicitly says that it's not for back of the booklet.

I'll just put them both as booklet for now.

Sounds reasonable

I wonder if this script will do bandcamp images.  Those are the releases that I mainly import.

it will, I've done it

Nice.

i blive bandcmap, amazon, spotify, discogs tc are supported. but some standalone things are not

I wonder if allmusic is 🤔

anyway if the page doenst work, the url of the iamge does so you cna left clik on the iamge and get "copy image url" and paste that

Oh, CatQuest, I picked up some Displex but haven't tried it on any discs yet.  The tube is definitely smaller than I expected from the picture.

CatQuest: allmusic is supported. some standalone ones aren't but you can copy the image URL into the paste box. If you encounter a popular site which isn't supported, give me a shout :)

Here's a list of all supported sites: https://github.com/ROpdebee/mb-userscripts/blob...

ROpdebee: sure

hmm. strange, I did paste discogs image page and got no happy request... like https://www.discogs.com/release/14402391-Heaven...

oh ROpdebee http://rockipedia.no/

noted. also that Discogs link works fine for me, but there were some issues with Discogs image URLs recently that should've gotten patched

aahh yes you rmind KassOtsimine to update that script :facepalm:

i remember now

i forgot becasue it actually worked fine

excpet for a dscogs page (it wasn't that one excplisitly but one like it)

PelvicSorcery: yes, sadly it is smaller thna id liek too :D

I did realize that I have the perfect test cd to practice on.  If it gets messed up I won't be upset.

Although I still need to bug Freso about whipper.  But he never seems to be on.

I’m around-ish.

Where's my shocked gif? :D

Does whipper update the accuraterip db?  I just ripped a cd that has no entries.

Also, I know whipper is meant to get the perfect rip, but is there a way to tell it to do the best it can with a damaged cd that isn't replaceable?

AccurateRip db is https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/issues/36

The second one should also be somewhat possible now in that its default is to skip unripable tracks but do rip all that are possible to rip.

<3 whipper

If you wish quicker response time to not rely on me to answer questions, you might want to ask in #whipper next time. :)

I thought that was the case with AccurateRip but I wasn't positive.  Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't realize there was a #wh

Stupid auto complete.

Anyways, I didn't realize there was a whipper channel.  Moving to there now. :)

outsidecontext: hi, where you able to remove seektable using mutagen?
