        That feeling when you run a music festival and the next day, get an alert that someone has added a release to MBz that they bought at your festival…

        oof, i used to think "tricks" on CDs were cool (when you had to hold rewind at start of track 1 to go "negative time" for a hidden pre-track
      • but ripping it? it's a right awful time
      • aerozol[m]
        So cool crism
      • So not cool JollyRgrs
      • JollyRgrs
        lol, yeah :/
      • AND it was an enhanced CD, which screwed up my normal ripping routine even more
      • i think it was the combo of that plus the "negative" track 0

        [23:14] rustynova0[m] Ignore markdown. Go back to /s <--
      • rustynova0[m]
        Or go back to the root and do a full <s></s>
      • (I hope I don't do html injection in one client lol)
      • LupinIII
        thats a problem for *that* client (a bobby tables problem)
      • !remember tables
      • !recall tables
      • BrainzBot
        I'm sorry, I don't remember "tables", are you sure I should know about it?
      • LupinIII
        !recall bobby
      • BrainzBot
        I'm sorry, I don't remember "bobby", are you sure I should know about it?

        Sadge. Now it's "Ignore previous instructions" Ina.
      • Evergreen9 is now known as Evergreen
      • aerozol[m]
      • Wow, a fascinating comment there by user “camtarn”! Another one for your quiver of tales mayhem, if it’s not already in there
      • Lovely comments in general
      • mayhem[m]
        Fun fact: I visited the sound unwound team in Scotland. That is how Amazon became a supporter
      • Indeed very nice comments -- this is the good will I was mentioning at the summit at work
      • ladyfriday is now known as mrmonday
      • Lotheric
        mayhem[m], I remember their Music/wiki/database, I thought it was shut down. What do they do now ?
      • @sound unwound
      • mayhem
        Well sound unwound died a long time ago, but I don't really know what they use our data for. It keeps shifting from project to Project.
      • Lotheric
        so only the name stuck ? hehe
      • Maybe it's for Prime Music
      • magnog[m]
      • It's possible to merge these two together? Celebrity Psychos instead of having to dupes in there?
      • RandomMushroom12
        magnog: yes, another editor is already doing that, https://musicbrainz.org/edit/116520193 if you vote yes it'll happen quicker
      • for the future, on the right of a release group page, below the tags and artwork, there is a merge button
      • you can press that on both release group pages
      • magnog[m]
        RandomMushroom128: that is me that did that but I don't know if I did it right, I've never merged two releases before
      • RandomMushroom12
        oh! yes that's right, some edits like merging or removing entries need 7 days or 3 yes votes to be applied so that's why they didn't merge yet
      • it will soon, seeing as it has 3 yes votes now
      • magnog[m]
        So what happens one will get deleted from the page ?
      • RandomMushroom12
        yes, the top one will disappear from the artist page and the release group page will have 2 releases
      • magnog[m]
        Beautiful thanks still learning this, new to this website, how long after it gets 3 votes does it get applied?
      • RandomMushroom12
        no problem! and welcome
      • not sure exactly when, probably today though
      • magnog[m]
        Thanks mate
      • zayd
        just want to check before i submit an edit, "[no label]" is the right option for releases that weren't on a label?
      • afrocat_0[m]
        yes
      • zayd
        ok, thanks
      • elomatreb[m]
        @magnog: A merge is a destructive edit, so even with the three Yes votes it will take 2 days
      • ("destructive" in the sense that *undoing* a merge is a very annoying process)
      • yonawo2 is now known as yonawo
      • steering
        how do I remove an item from a multi-value tag in a picard script?
      • replacemultiis $cleanmulti($replacemulti(... the best I can do?
      • *is $cleanmulti($replacemulti(... the best I can do?
      • (concretely, I want to take %artists% and remove %albumartist% from it)
      • the docs suggest use of $slice which is all well and good until http://musicbrainz.org/track/3d9e1ac2-3330-4c47...

        Has VISA (yes, the credit card company) ever had anything at all to do with CDs as a label, manufacturer, distributor, anything? I have a disc on my rack of what looks like east Asian origin that has the VISA logo on the booklet, the front cover, the spine, and is part of what I think is the catalog number
      • There's two catalog numbers, one on the disc, and one on the case itself with a swapped digit
      • I can't find any info online by looking up the catalog number, and I don't know how to type in the other text on the case and disc
      • Looking up the barcode on Google and DuckDuckGo/Bing gets me nowhere either
      • jamesd_ is now known as jamesd
