Re: [mb-style] NGS guidelines

Let's say some of Tchaikovsky's works are in French, but I'd have to somehow manually select aliases if I don't want everything in French? I'm just guessing here, it would be interesting to know how Picard would handle this. Well, that's a very important point, having a clean database with titles in the original language and a translated alias is great, but it's important to normalize how this is handled to have an automation in the tagging of our favourite ID3 tagger. I would love to have an option in Jaikoz/Picard to say that I want the tagging in english or say romaji when I'm managing Japanese albums (note that for languages requiring UTF8 the issue is even worse: many players do not display properly the original language).

Re: [mb-style] Do we need Featuring Artist Style in NGS?
Hello all, I agree that Kuno's option #2 seems the most appropriate. But to take in account Andrew's point why we just don't state that the new rule apply only to new entries and that the old records using FAS will not be edited before enough time has been spent and why not some plugins-option implemented in Picard/Jaikoz allowing users to maintain their existing ETI on their music library ? This way existing users of MB not even aware of NGS won't have their existing collections mixed up when they update their tags and it let people adapt to the change.

Re: [mb-style] Do we need Featuring Artist Style in NGS?
So now what ? Is there a formal decision process to decide what we're doing and change the FAS Style Guide (or keeping it as is) ? To be honest I would also be OK with #1 although I think #2 is better. But in any case I would love to know what will be the rule once NGS is live. -- http://transparency.org/ The global coalition against corruption ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
Re: [mb-style] Mailing list/forum dissonance
I started discussing a Style topic on the forum to discover that this kind of stuff is done on the mailing-list. That's quite surprising and old-fashioned but I can understand that some may have their habits and prefer a mailing-list. Among the benefit of the forum I include the better editing capabilities (no mail reader tampering with your layout) and moreover the better search functions, it was quite painful to do a search on one year of Mailing list archive to see if the subject I want to discuss has already been covered. Google group is probably the best solution, it gives great search and editing capabilities and allow people to subscribe to it like a classical mailing-list.
