Re: [mb-style] Re: RFC: DiscNumberStyle
Are Good Tag Implementations (i.e. not MP3's id3v1 or v2 but e.g. Ogg) able to understand this form of tags? Well they could also be translated by Picard when tagging. (Discogs is already doing that but they don't have the tagging problem.)

As for me, I just enter vinyl LPs as if they were a CD, disc for disc except that I preserve the intended track order on multi-disc sets. It would be interesting to see if the MB data model could be made amenable to track numbers such as A1, A2, etc. instead of just integers. Rob...

Re: [mb-style] Is french silly? :p (French capitalization rules)
I think the only things that would have to be fixed are when word capitalization is used on all the album tracks, because it's really ugly when it's French. Pure sentence capitalization is always better than that.

This is not different. The French rules have been like that for over a year, yet the French releases in the database are largely not following them. Either not enough people care about fixing them (which I don't think is really true) or it's just too much work for the people with the knowledge and will to fix them to actually do so. --Nikki ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
[mb-style] Is french silly? :p (French capitalization rules)
I don't have the time to read the whole discussion, but as a native French speaker and being a person very anal* about spelling, grammar and the like, I have some facts to add: Whereas in English I see that title rules are most of the times obseved on things like book titles, movies, etc., in French it doesn't. While most of the time it's sentence capitalization, sometimes some words are capitalized for some reason (i.e. the author feel that they are important). The capitalized words are most of the time nouns. I don't think this would clarify the whole thing, but : - If the artist uses sentence capitalization, use sentence capitalization. - If the artist capitalizes some words like nouns & adjectives, and that it is consistent (same capitalization on cover, booklet, website), and that small words like "de", "le", etc. are not capitalized, and it seems that there in an an intent or logic, then capitalize these words. What it is clear to me is that currently I follow these rules and I don't understand the current official ones ;-). My mother is a French language teacher, and I asked her about the capitalization rules. So yes there are capitalization rules, the official MB ones are the good ones, but... I think that less than 1% of the French population knows them (I already forgot them). * I discovered this wonderful expression on #MusicBrainz ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
