If I have music files (whole CD's) on my harddisk which are not identified yet (author, track names, etc.) e.g. due to lack of internet connection while ripping, I think picard (musicbrainz.org) might be a useful tool. Would that be something for paldo?

When I've time I'll look into this. Seems it has lots of dependencies:

Zitat

1. Python 2.4 If you don't have Python 2.4 installed, grab it from http://python.org 2. wxPython 2.6.1.x or higher UNICODE version Grab wxPython from http://wxpython.org/download.php#binaries Make sure you get the UNICODE version -- if you don't the tagger won't run. If your distribution doesn't provide packages for 2.6.1.x/UNICODE, you'll have to compile it yourself -- I've created a script that allows me to compile picard in one easy step: http://musicbrainz.org/~robert/build_wx.sh Be sure to take a look at the build script and change the version number or install paths. I use a non-standard /opt install path to not conflict with the normal wxWidgets/wxPython install. In order to run the tagger using the wxPython install from the /opt install path, start it with a script like this: #!/bin/sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/wx/2.6.1.0/lib export PYTHONPATH=/opt/wx/2.6.1.0/wxPython python tagger.py Again, adjust paths as necessary. 3. python-musicbrainz2 and ctypes Download and install the new MusicBrainz python client library from: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/PythonMusicBrainz2 You'll also need the ctypes (0.9.6 or higher) package: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71702 4. libdiscid (optional) In order do enable CD lookups, you will need to install also libdiscid: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/libdiscid Follow the instructions in INSTALL 5. libtunepimp Install this version of libtunepimp: ftp://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/libtunepimp-0.5.2.tar.gz Follow the instructions in INSTALL 6. libtunepimp python bindings In the python directory of libtunepimp (downloaded from above) are the python tunepimp bindings. After installing libtunepimp, do this from the python directory: $ sudo python setup.py install 7. Once you've installed this long list of software packages, run the tagger from this directory: $ ./tagger.py or install it system-wide: $ sudo python setup.py install $ picard 8. Read the README file to get a clue how to use it and to let me know about problems in the tagger.
