        any idea why some `ipod-library` files have good metadata and some don't? both have been tagged with musicbrainz and synced via _Apple Music_

        Where did you find these files?
      • shisma[m]
        what do you mean find? they are on my iOS device
      • wileyfoxyx[m]
        That's the question, how specifically do you open these files?
      • shisma[m]
        I can show you the code
      • https://github.com/fuddl/Riker/blob/main/Riker/...
      • https://github.com/fuddl/Riker/blob/6e387e440a7...
      • oh, i noticed the file with good metadata is an m4a while the bad one is mp3

        <YoMo12[m]> "https://github.com/ROpdebee/mb-..." <- yo, may I ask, how does the "Enhanced Cover Art Uploads" works?
      • does it upscale the images or does it simply find the highest resolution of an image?
      • I'd like to know if Im uploading the original cover arts
      • zas[m]
        simply find the highest resolution of an image
      • BlastboomStrice[
        ah cool then:))

        as a follow up. i managed to access mp3 metatags too. but for some reason only the recording id (in an unexpected format)
      • but that's the one most interesting id anyway
      • bwbuhse_ is now known as bwbuhse
      • outsidecontext[m
        shisma.: you know about https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/appendic... ? The tags for the MBIDs are all documented there
      • shisma[m]
        thanks, the issue seems to be that from the TXXX tag's key, I can only see the TXXX prefix and the value 🤷
      • so all musicbrainz tags look the same. the last one happens to be the recording id
      • rinsuki[m]
        is the MB slow for everyone now, or just my internet is bad?
      • reosarevok[m]
        Probably slow for everyone since we have been getting spammed with ai scrapers
      • rustynova[m]
        Couldn't be me.
      • *Was busy checking why I keep hitting the rate limit on LB instead*
      • MrDowntempo
        Hello. Very new to actually editing MB's data. I -think- I've found an error, and wish to correct it but not sure if I should make an edit, or make another version of the release.
      • elomatreb[m]
        @MrDowntempo: Usually you should correct an error, you just need to decide if it's actually an error or a different variant of the same release. If you want we can help you decide if you provide specifics
      • Also, welcome
      • MrDowntempo
        So it's a old booleg release, Specifically Towering Above the Rest by Radiohead... so it's kinda difficult to verify what is and isn't supposed to be there. However..
      • There is only 1 track missing a length, and that track is also missing from the Radiohead Wiki's description of the release. https://radiohead.fandom.com/wiki/Towering_Abov...
      • Track 8 on CD 22
      • Lynne
        updated my external renderloop branch, just to check it still works
      • https://github.com/cyanreg/mpv/tree/external_re...
      • still works.
      • elomatreb[m]
        MrDowntempo: I think for a bootleg release of a popular group like that I would err on the side of caution and create a separate release
      • MrDowntempo
        @elomatreb Ok, thanks, that was my gut feeling. Is it possible to duplicate the current release and then build off of that?
      • or cut from that I should say
      • Oh, I think I already figured it out
      • elomatreb[m]
        yes, from the second tab in the release editor
      • MrDowntempo
        ooh, I think I hosed it up. I used the 2nd tab, but I think since I dind't expand every CD it only took the first CD and CD 22, the one I made the edit for
      • Can I delete the release I made so that I can try again?
      • elomatreb[m]
        you technically can, but generally we prefer to edit compared to fix
      • *compared to deleting and recreating
      • tbh I'm a little surprised how you managed to get that edit, I thought it would copy the disks exactly
      • MrDowntempo
        aww shoot. The amount of fixes would have been a lot of manual editing. I already deleted it, I'll get the hang of this, sorry!
      • elomatreb[m]
        in this case it's fine since you just created the release
      • if an entity exists for a non-trivial amount of time, the likelyhood that someone used it for tagging or as an external link somewhere goes up, and if you delete the release those links just get broken
      • on the other hand, if you merge or edit the release, the links stay working, turning into redirects in the case of merges
      • MrDowntempo
        That makes sense, yeah since I just created it I doubt anyone is using it too. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Okay, trying again, cross your fingers
      • Looks like it worked that time. I think maybe because there were soooo many tracks, the discs were collapsed, and that means they didn't get duplicated. This time looks okay at first glance.
      • Oh. hmmm, a little bit of data didn't get copied.
