Hi Erinn, I looked around a bit and I found a GPLv2 project that provides python bindings for AudioScrobbler (http://code.google.com/p/pyscrobbler/). To submit a track, here's all the code that is needed:
#!/usr/bin/env python import audioscrobbler #download from the website above, via svn #$svn checkout http://pyscrobbler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyscrobbler-read-only import time #constructs a string with the current time in the correct format time_now=time.localtime() # (2008, 12, 17, 0, 42, 36, 2, 352, date_played_str=str(time_now.tm_year) + "-" + str(time_now.tm_mon) + "-" \ + str(time_now.tm_mday) + " " + str(time_now.tm_hour) + ":" + \ str(time_now.tm_min) + ":" + str(time_now.tm_sec) + " " #creates the track object track = dict(artist_name="Audioscrobbler test", song_title="The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song", length=291, date_played= date_played_str, album="At War With The Mystics", mbid="" ) #the actual post post = audioscrobbler.AudioScrobblerPost(username='BOGUS_USERNAME', password='BOGUS_PASSWORD') post(**track) The post should happen (from http://www.audioscrobbler.net/development/protocol/): >In order to qualify for submission all of the following criteria must be met: > > 1. The track must be submitted once it has finished playing. Whether it has > finished playing naturally or has been manually stopped by the user is > irrelevant. > 2. The track must have been played for a duration of at least 240 seconds > or half the track's total length, whichever comes first. Skipping or pausing > the track is irrelevant as long as the appropriate amount has been played. > 3. The total playback time for the track must be more than 30 seconds. Do > not submit tracks shorter than this. > 4. Unless the client has been specially configured, it should not attempt > to interpret filename information to obtain metadata instead of tags (ID3, > etc). Before digging deeper into this, I'm asking you if you think this is a good approach. Luca Invernizzi --- http://allievi.sssup.it/invernizzi
