Description: An amaroK script that takes an Audioscrobbler user(s) and appends the songs that you have in your collection based on their top artists or top tracks. The new, optional, PyQt gui give you a whole lot more options on what gets appended to your playlist.
Currently it uses a homebrew screen scraping module to get the top tracks.
More info can be found in the included README file.Last changelog:
v 0.4
Major code restructuring! Please bugtest. FEATURE: View shared or missing tracks between a last.fm user and your collection. CHANGE: Uses amarok script menus CHANGE: New config dialog box, launched the proper way in amaroK
v 0.3 -----
Bugfix: Case insensitive match of track/artist names Feature: Random matching by artist Feature: Random by all matches Feature: Cool new PyQt GUI Feature: Access Top Tracks in addition to Top Artists
For eample, in gentoo the package is dcoppython, so I'd just 'emerge dcoppython'. In debian it should be python-dcop so you would 'apt-get install python-dcop'.
I don't know about other distros at this point.
Not currently, but it's an interesting idea. I don't think it would be that hard to do, since all I would have to do is find songs that don't match in the collection, rather than songs that do match, like I do now.
Of course, this wouldn't actually change the playlist, like it currently does. What do you think the gui to show non-matched songs would look like?
well, it'd be great in de sidebar - there is already the suggested songs... changing it into 2 for example (suggested in collection, suggested NOT in collection) could work. or, a dialogue accessable through view/edit metadata or the rmb menu. i guess automatic search through kmldonkey/appolon are out of the question, but a associated google search, preferably to the album (and not the song) would be nice.

what's the deal with pydcop and where do I get it? Thanks!
Depends on your distro.
For eample, in gentoo the package is dcoppython, so I'd just 'emerge dcoppython'. In debian it should be python-dcop so you would 'apt-get install python-dcop'. I don't know about other distros at this point.
I have python-dcop installed on Kubuntu, but I still get error pydcop not found. Why?
is there a way to see what songs YOU DON'T have that other users listen, based on the song(s) you DO have?

Hmmmm, I'd have to see what types of interfaces amarok provides a script writer. I'll look into it.
