You might find Mirage interesting.

It requires computing a unique ID that can be used to map the songs by similarity. It's excruciatingly slow as a Banshee plugin but it's a good (free) start. Perhaps we could rewrite that in C/C++?

Hi, this program looks fantastic but I can't get it to work.

I think I'm doing everything right. I'm pointing it at my ipod but when I try to run it I get no output, just the prompt. I thought it may have been the size of my music collection so I set up a test folder with a small selection of artists (all tagged through picard) and the same thing happened.

I tried it against a folder on my hard drive, and while it told me it had output the playlists, when I go to check they are empty. It also completed the process in a matter of seconds.

Can you think of anything obvious I'm doing wrong? Or if you need more info let me know.

evilnick:
What format files are you using on your iPod?

shayguitarra:
My ipod is a mixture of mp3 and ogg. I have flac, mp3 and ogg on my pc. I transcode the flac files to ogg before transferring them to the ipod. When I created my test folder I also made sure that all files had been tagged through picard to give the program a fairly easy test.

Myrmornis:
@shayguitarra: Could you provide the exact command line you're using, and describe the contents of your test library? What operating system are you using? For testing, a single album by a single artist should be enough, i.e. a toy library like this:

--- Code: ---library/sole_artist/sole_album/track1.ogg
library/sole_artist/sole_album/track2.ogg
...

--- End code ---
Then

--- Code: ---python dbm.py -i library -o output-directory
--- End code ---
ought to work.

I'm sorry that it's not producing any helpful error messages for you. I'm working on a new version at the moment that will be flexible about the way the library is organised, still try to work when musicbrainz tags are missing, deal with compilations / various artist albums better, support flac and mpc, have better error messages, ....
