Display questions (display discid url) about musicbrainz-isrcsubmit HOT 11 CLOSED

1. Possible, yes. Should this be done everytime or just when the ID has multiple releases attached? Should the script ask to open it in the browser? Should it ask only with multiple releases?
2. These weird device names are printed by libdiscid on Windows, so I don't have direct control. However, I can see if I can hack something.

I opened issue #33 about these device strings.

from musicbrainz-isrcsubmit.

The URL would be displayed in any case, opening web browser only when ID not found…

DiscID:         3mGdiDepgorlStCzqPseCCh9kDg-
Tracks on Disc: 12

Would become

DiscID:         http://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/3mGdiDepgorlStCzqPseCCh9kDg-
Tracks on Disc: 12

It’s just because I need to copy/paste isrcstuff to edit note. If it is not a welcome update for everyone, I can cope not having it…

How do you include an edit note while submitting ISRCs?

from musicbrainz-isrcsubmit.

If you have "3mGdiDepgorlStCzqPseCCh9kDg-" it's easy enough to make it "http://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/3mGdiDepgorlStCzqPseCCh9kDg-". I wouldn't be opposed to this, but I'd prefer adding a new line, e.g.:

DiscID:         3mGdiDepgorlStCzqPseCCh9kDg-
DiscID URL:     http://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/3mGdiDepgorlStCzqPseCCh9kDg-
Tracks on Disc: 12

Well, having urls in the output makes it (even more) messy.
It would be perfect if we could create an edit note with the toc url, but as far as I know, this is not possible.
You can just search for that edit in the browser and add the toc url manually, but I don't think many users would do that.

Adding verbosity levels (0=quiet, 1=norm, 2=info, .. ?=debug) would make the code more complex, but the output less of a mess for the "casual" user.

For myself I have a small showrelease.py script that will open a browser tab for the disc in the drive. @jesus2099 that might also be an option in your dos.bat.

If there is a request, I could add showrelease.py in this archive. It uses libdiscid to get the discid and then open the submiturl (where you will find the toc url when the discid is already submitted). It takes the drive as a parameter.

from musicbrainz-isrcsubmit.

Heh. I have a hacked "isrcsubmit.py" with a tone of code removed called "disclookup.py" which really just opens a browser window (using the CDTOC though, and not the DiscID, IIRC). :)

Perhaps an option "--open-in-browser" or something to always open the DiscID and/or release in the browser after completion would be a good idea?

from musicbrainz-isrcsubmit.

submiturl opens through the TOC, yes. The discid is only linked on that page. Doesn't make much of a difference. With the submiturl you can even attach the TOC to another disc (sometimes necessary).

Another option is also an idea, but that makes the options more complicated.
--submiturl would be another idea for the option name.
That would be easiest for the user, I guess.

Have to think about that a bit. What do you think, @jesus2099 ?

from musicbrainz-isrcsubmit.

Well, forget my suggestion then ;)
I just need a clean output to just copy and paste in edit note including a link to DiscID, but I can go on adding it manually, it would make an ugly display indeed.
The edit note is manual btw, isrc submission does not unfortunately allow edit note nor application name.

Because this shows up in Google: I uploaded my showrelease.py.
