        hah, so here's a pretty funny mb edge case : https://musicbrainz.org/release/d84e322a-df87-4...
      • track A5 here has the wrong duration
      • if you listen to it on streaming and go to 4:28, you will hear Tom Petty say : "We've come to the point in this album where those listening on cassette, or records, will have to stand up or sit down and turn over the record or tape. In fairness to those listeners, we'll now take a few seconds before we begin side two... Thank you. Here's side two.
      • this message obviously does not appear on the vinyl and tape versions (I know the latter, because when I was a kid I had the tape version 😅)
      • it appears that the version without this message is 4:23 - https://musicbrainz.org/recording/28ad9682-a88a...
      • (4:22 or 4:23)
      • Cheezm___
        So, two different recordings, the 4:52 one should have an annotation "with CD version dialogue at end" or somesuch.
      • I have both in my library (the long version from Pono, hires, the short version on greatest hits).
      • derwin
        there also appears to be at least two CD releases (France, Germany) which have the shorter version
      • Cheezm___
        Nice, probably early masterings from the LP master.
      • derwin
        https://musicbrainz.org/release/9a7c8b6b-4d2c-4... (unfortunately no verifying DiscID)
      • I am, unfortunately, relatively unlikely to find the time to fix this, but I thought it was really neat and weird as a clear case where the artist had intent to have different versions for different media.
      • Cheezm___
        That may be the only Petty CD I don't have an early pressing of to check the discid. Discogs seems to confirn the run time, but otherwise I would have thought someone just imported the vinyl track times.
      • I just bought an early CD copy with 4:23 on the cover art so we'll soon find out.
      • Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues had longer versions on the cassette and edits on the CD (due to fear of not fitting on the CD I guess) but then the CD was later repressed with the longer versions. There are similar cases for other CD's when they were worried what would fit and put an edit on the CD. But this is kind of unique in that it is a longer version on the CD.

        wow, that's dedication!
      • Cheezm___
        Eh, just realizing something was missing from my collection and curiousity!
      • I think it will be this one https://musicbrainz.org/release/d37bb9e5-c696-3... which has a mix of 4:23 and 4:52 discids.
      • So I am guessing there are early 4:23 pressings then later ones with the longer version (maybe with the same artwork).
      • But there are definitley CD discids with the short version out there.
      • ats
        derwin: https://musicbrainz.org/release/bad818f4-5232-4... is another example - the 8-track version is divided into tracks differently from the other releases, so "Pigs on the Wing" has an extra guitar solo in the middle to link the two parts together
      • derwin
        ats: neat! that's a great album, I should listen to it more
      • Cheezm___: nice find! yeah I didn't exhaustively look for releases with the 4:23 and a discid
      • Cheezm___
        When I get my copy, I'll clean up whichever release it matches. In the mean time I've added the annotation to the long version.
      • (disambiguation)
      • With so many discid's on that release, it may be a silent remaster and need to have two releases with the same cover art/barcode, etc. and some disambiguation based on that track length.
      • derwin
        thanks, go mb!

        derwin: not the same edge case, but the cassette release of this has extra tracks with dialogue re. how it’s on a cassette: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/6f6d58bf-...
      • Stupid as album haha

        Sciencentistguy: The tracks aren't greyed out if you go the Spotify page at least
      • it doesn't let me stream anything at the moment (including other tracks) because of some API errors, so it might just be Spotify being broken
      • atj
        Sciencentistguy: I just checked a couple of releases and Spotify is returning a valid list of countries
      • the API response on the one you posted contains "available_markets": []

        is there a way to "touch" .flac files in a way that would fix this problem?
      • E: 14:18:38,969 /usr/lib/picard/picard/ui/item.error_append:108: <FLACFile '03.flac'>: Stream info block not found

      • those are picard errors
      • vlc is playing it right now since I'm listening to it...

        Could you open and re-encode them with Audacity?
      • duncan
        That will technically fix it (you could convert to wav and re-encode as flac as well) but it will just encode the error. It likely is a corrupted file.
      • VLC will play corrupt FLACs just fine, so will a bunch of players, it doesn't mean the file isn't buggy though

      • Cheezm___
        Pretty sure if Audacity will open it around the error/corruption it will create a clean version encoding it again.
      • But that is the first step to see if any editing/conversion software can read it without reporting an error.
      • duncan
        it'll create a clean final output but it will encode whatever the error is as a gap or 'zit'
      • it depends on the corruption but if it's possible to source a clean version, that's obviously preferable
      • Cheezm___
        Depends what kind of error it is, sounds like some kind of header info. (Or could even be a bug in Picard not parsing something correctly).
      • duncan
        if it's sourced from some torrent, I'd assume it's an actual error, either the torrent didn't finish or was corrupt in the first place
      • if it's sourced from a CD rip, I'd just rip the disc again and then report a bug if it's actually clean
      • first thing I'd do is run 'flac -t', that checks the actual stream content against the checksum
      • well, 'flac -wst' is the best
      • Sciencentistguy
        do the ETI rules for english extend to other languages as well?
      • specifically, the first (1-1) and last three (2-18, 2-19, 2-20) tracks on this release https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/711678e6-f...
      • i.e. should i replace the `~` and `-` with `(` / `)`?
      • crism1
        Sciencentistguy: Japanese releases have their own set of conventions… I wouldn’t mess with that unless you understand them.
