Source code
This version of Picard was build using libofa, a preliminary version of libtunepimp and the Python XML Webservice binding:
- libofa: The Open Fingerprint Architecture library from MusicDNS.
- libtunepimp: This ALPHA version of libtunepimp. This version can create PUIDs, the new acousting fingerprint ID, and that is about it. To create PUIDs with the examples/puid program, you need to register for a clientID at MusicDNS.org.
- python-musicbrainz2: The new Python XML web service client, version 0.2.0
A lot of these releases are still quite rough. We'll be adding more documentation and cleaning things up in the coming days.
Documentation
Q: I don't get this. How am I supposed to use the new PUIDs? When I klick on "Analyze" the track gets moved to the "New Files" folder and then to the "Ungrouped Files" Folder. And then nothing happens. Should this not load a MB page with the PUID? Even if I klick on "Lookup" after a successful analysis (i.e. a PUID has been generated), Picard just launches a normal lookup. How is this supposed to work? --DonRedman
