*Where: Internet Archive, 300 Funston, SF
For the IA, keeping the service always online is less important than securing good archiving. Which makes sense, but we can't really afford having a 503 session every time the temperature goes up. So, we probably need to try to convince them to make the temporary storage higher, so that at least submissions will work instead of being rejected (even though they will be queued and won't show up until the normal servers come back up).

There are a few improvements/problems we should address with respect to the Cover Art Archive.

===Node Downtime===

For the IA, keeping the service always online is less important than securing good archiving. Which makes sense, but uploading data and then have it fail frustrates our users. Avoiding downtime or managing it so that our community knows about current problems would be good.

===Artwork deletion===

Archive / MusicBrainz meeting

  • Where: Internet Archive, 300 Funston, SF
  • When: October 22, 10:30am
  • Who: invited people only (Ian McEwen, Oliver Charles, Kuno Woudt, Rob Derwin, Alex VanValin, Robert Kaye & archive staff)

Cover Art Archive

There are a few improvements/problems we should address with respect to the Cover Art Archive.

Node Downtime

For the IA, keeping the service always online is less important than securing good archiving. Which makes sense, but uploading data and then have it fail frustrates our users. Avoiding downtime or managing it so that our community knows about current problems would be good.

Artwork deletion

See http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4753. Every cover art uploaded to CAA stays forever on archive.org. This is problematic:

  • if a private photo is uploaded by error, it won't be deleted when edit is canceled or image removed from MB
  • archive.org is unnecessarily hosting questionable images that have been rejected by MB community (e.g. because of low quality or duplication).
  • release merges can often cause moves, and those seem not to delete the old version, so there's duplicated data

CDN

http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/CAA-26 : loading images could be faster.

Maximum image size

How To Add Cover Art claims the filesize limit is 15MB. However, we have 29 images larger than this, the largest of which is 33.5MB. If there is supposed to be a limit, then the IA haven't implemented it. (If there isn't, then we need to fix our documentation) --Nikki (talk) 17:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Metadata matching

We should talk about how we can work together to match the music that the archive has against MusicBrainz and how to feed missing metadata to MusicBrainz. (ingrestr & matchr) How can we work together to leverage the music that archive is collecting?

Future projects

Some future projects for us to think about:

  • artist image archive
  • music archive access for research purposes
