Amarok/Archives/Amarok 1.4/User Guide/Submit your amaroK database to musicmobs

Description

Similar to Audioscrobbler but with a different focus, there is the site musicmobs.com, which has at the moment only plugins for a few players available. With the following script you can upload your Amarok database to musicmobs. You will need a musicmobs account to do so.

Update

The Musicmobs XML-RPC API is depricated. The new, supported API is the REST interface seen here:

[mobdev.pbwiki.com Musicmobs REST API]

This API also supports playlist syncing.

Prerequisites

For this script you need a recent version of Python, the SQLite libraries / command client (Version 3.2) and the APSW module for Python installed.

The script

Save this file as amarok2musicmobs.py

	server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://www.musicmobs.com/services/xmlrpc.php")
	print "OK"
	try:
		res = server.musicmobs.updateProfile(username, password, bs)
	except xmlrpclib.ProtocolError:
		print "MusicMobs.com plugin: Could not submit tracks (Network Error)" 
	except:
		print "XML-RPC ERROR: Check your credentials"

	if len(sys.argv) < 4:
		print "Usage: amarok2musicmobs.py /path/to/your/collection.db username password"
	else:
		submit(sys.argv[1],sys.argv[2],sys.argv[3])

Usage

If you mark the file as executable and move it somewhere into your path, you can update your metadata as follows:

1amarok2musicmobs.py /path/to/your/collection.db username password

For example:

1amarok2musicmobs.py ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/collection.db username password

If you want your profile to be updated regularly, consider a cron job.
