Usage

import gnatlib result = gnatlib.filelookup('test.mp3') 20.04.09 17:11:34 DEBUG - Trying to guess an ID for track “Light My Fire”, artist “Jay Dee”, release “Donuts”, track number 4 20.04.09 17:11:34 DEBUG ID Found ! result['artistURI'] u'http://musicbrainz.org/artist/cbcbb22c-3a8d-46af-b4ba-09c98f0d7931'

gnatlib.metadatalookup(artist='Jay Dee', release='Donuts') 20.04.09 17:21:07 DEBUG - Trying to guess an ID for track “None”, artist “Jay Dee”, release “Donuts”, track number None 20.04.09 17:21:07 DEBUG ID Found !

{'artist': , 'artistMbz': u'http://musicbrainz.org/artist/cbcbb22c-3a8d-46af-b4ba-09c98f0d7931', 'artistURI': u'http://dbtune.org/musicbrainz/resource/artist/cbcbb22c-3a8d-46af-b4ba-09c98f0d7931', 'releaceMbz': u'http://musicbrainz.org/release/e3655e9f-3db1-434d-bb4b-3529d09b2989', 'release': , 'releaseURI': u'http://dbtune.org/musicbrainz/resource/release/e3655e9f-3db1-434d-bb4b-3529d09b2989', 'score': 88, 'track': None}

Notice this actually returns the more accurate result for 'J-Dilla' the pseudonym used by Jay Dee when the album 'Donuts' was released.

Known Issues

• 2009-20-04
  • @param use_cache=False does not seem to work correctly - sorry you've got to use the cache for now…
  • turning off verbose seems to not work :-/
  • no clean up of the ./cache directory - you have to do this yourself
  • we use dbtune.org/musicbrainz URIs - it is not clear this is best
  • no support for PUID MusicDNS lookup
