hi

verus: yes i am

hi!

i was wondering if it would be easy to take the amazon cd cover code and make it standalone kind of

for someone who hasnt ever coded*

really easy

in fact it's 9/10s of the way there

you can move the 'amazon' directory to /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ and call it from any python program you want

really?

hehe cool

python is cool like that

hi

so... what's your error message?

welcome back

well the error message doesnt exist

i just get blankness

even -d still blank

ok... what command are you running

python -d blah.py

i stole code from musicfile.py

so it's running and exiting ... it thinks everything worked out fine

ya

msg me part or all of your blah.py file

okay

get it?

yes

1) you have to add a line so that your function getCoverImage get's called

right now it's not

in python we add:

if __name__ == '__main__':

getCoverImage()

add that to the bottom of you file..

then... you'll find more problems

ya it wants arguments

ok...

'self' is an arg that if this was in a object 'self' would ref the object... in this case we are not

so you can remove that

okay neat

it worked but now empty again

no errors

and then ... "self.meta" is a var that does exist any more

HA!

you just found the bug that has stoped us from getting covers to stuff

note the #debug

really!?

and then "return None"

I put that there to speed things up

so delete the "return None"

should i just do this in the tune-taggers src tree

rather then play with my script

what i wanted was to download album covers into the directory of the mp3s

so i could have album.jpg in each album thing =/

you should name it <<albumid>>.jpg

but if you remove those lines in the tunetagger src tree (or cvs up) then the covers will be embedded in the files

NameError: global name 'self' is not defined

wow =]

thats kinda useless right now though

since xmms wont do it, and it would just make bigger files

I can't do everythign :)

im going to have to retag my whole collection huh

why don't you write a new musicplayer that will do that

verus: no...

well i want the images

you could learn how to do that in python pretty quickly

you were 50% of the way there

oh no!

i took out the #debug and the return none

and its crashing

global name amazon is not defined

you mean the error you told me before

hmm

add "import amazon" to the top of the file...

oh

you have that

o yea its commented

i was wondering why

okay i think it is doing stuff!

said couldnt find cover art

thats progress

msg me you code again

my code im not working on it

im working on the one in musicfile.py

but i do want to work on mine now

hey

hi thu =]

change lines like "self.meta['coverImage']" to be coverImage

verus: http://python.org/doc/lib/ <- python std lib docs...

omg lol

look up the file() func in the build-in functions (or look in the index)

is there any form of mb client for linux?

I just found out about musicbrainz and it looks really cool (provided that it actually works)

thu: yes... mb is mostly linux

there are perl/python/ruby bindings if you arn't a c hacker

what about an actual client?

I'm excited about the music fingerprinting idea

I have a ton of badly named mp3s with little or no id3s

I wonder if mb would help

it helped me

same situation as you

did you use the windows client?

ahh... you are looking for a linux version of the tagger

right

you've come to the right place

:)

nope thu

you need to know how to get stuff from cvs

I'm working on a more final version

ok

I'll try to download it and give it a try

do I need wxGTK and wxPython for it?

hmm.. seems not

thu: its gonna be hard to get it to work!
