Re: Definition of 'Transfered by' on details page... |
okay, good to hear jon, yeah, a FAQ entry would be killer.
hmm, perhaps "Recording converted by:" and it could be a little definition pop-up, like you have for batting averages, where you can put what you just put about it being whoever converted the original MD/DAT to .wav
if you want to add a field, you can add "Uploaded to archive by:" or just "Uploaded by:" but then again, moving .shn files to the archive isn't really any special feat, and doesn't really require a name box on the details page.
Thoughts?

Wouldn't this get confused with the person who converted the SHNs to WAVs?

Re: Definition of 'Transfered by' on details page... |
Or what about "Source > Computer by:" - unless I'm wrong, WAV isn't the only end format (AIFF?)
While we're on it, is "lineage" a good term?

Re: Definition of 'Transfered by' on details page... |
"Conversion by:" would cause less confusion because even myself thought Transfered by meant the person who transfered the show to the archive

Re: Definition of 'Transfered by' on details page... |
As confusing as it is, that's the term...learn it, love it, use it. Right under that there is an "Uploaded By" field. I'm guessing that's where the name/email/identity of the person who uploaded (the official term of the files going from the "uploader's" computer to the archive. I don't think we need to change the terminoligy to deal w/ confusion, we just need to have folks learn the terminoligy :)
later,

Re: Misspelling of 'Transfered by' on details page... |
learn it, love it, use it
...but do spell it right, as
"Transferred by"
(note to Jon. ;) )
BTW, "transfer" in trading circles is actually a shorthand for "DAT transfer", usually meaning
bits on a DAT tape> bits in CDR-ready form (ie, on an audio CD or on a HD or packed into data files)

Re: Misspelling of 'Transfered by' on details page... |
I think it would be great to have definitions of all the meta-terms available via FAQ. To help along that process add that when dealing with a laptop recording there is no transfer --- so leave the "transferred by" field blank.
