How do they get Beck as "pop"?!? Maybe Alternative pop but mostly Rock. This is something that rubs me wrong about automatic tags... they aren't always right.

ps, I still think the fact that this was on the empeg boards so quickly just rocks.

---

Well, think about it... Sure your products have broad appeal to any music lover, but who needs this kind of functionality more than Empeg owners, with their gigs upon gigs of MP3's? This seems like very cool technology... You guys hiring? :)

Now this is another really useful piece of technology which won't run cos I'm doing something wrong.

So...

I try and './configure' and it throws a wobbler because there's no FFTW library installed, so I download that, make it and install it. So, I try './configure'ing Songprint again. Of course, I assumed that I had glib installed and I hadn't, so it failed again. Off I trotted to download glib, configured, made and installed it.

Back to Songprint, which failed because it said it still couldn't find glib. One quick 'ldconfig' later and all's well.

Several options, configurations and whatever later, it tells me that I need a new glibc (v.2.1.3). Off I trot to Freshmeat.net who say that the latest version is 2.1.2 (it isn't, and 2.1.3 is actually used on the page you click through to, but that one had me going for a few minutes). Of course, when I try to install that, it says that I need this, that and the other.

Oh well, I thought, it says I only really need it for Ogg and I'm not using that, so back to Songprint.

I finally get through to typing 'make' and am then thwarted with all sorts of problems with variable 'tval' in sp_identify.c I gave it up as a bad job and went to bed.

Like I said, it's bound to be my fault and I'm not blaming anybody here. I was tired last night and maybe I didn't read great swathes of the docs. I'll give it another go later.

Nick.

What distribution are you trying this out on?

---

Hi, I would have replied privately, but your profile is blank .

It's a SuSE derivative. Installed a while back (6 months or so) from the latest distribution at the time. Since then it's been upgraded to 2.4.0-test4 kernel and various other odds and sodds.

E-mail me privately (nick@debau.ch) if you want more info.

Cheers,

Nick.

"Would" is a user-defined song.
eTantrum.com cannot give detailed information about user-defined songs.

---

This is exactly what it gives me for EVERY SINGLE SONG I TRY!! Now, I might be mistaken about which button does what, so the "More Info" button may not be what I'm supposed to press for this function. However, the help file says this:

The More Info Button

This is where you can find out all the information on the song that you are currently listening to. Artist, Track name, Album it was released on, and Lyrics (if available). This will also be where you can use the "sounds like" feature to find similar sounding music.

---

That sure sounds like it to me. Although it doesn't say anything about filling out the tags it'self. It looks more like this program is informational. Like it will tell you the information and make you go change it. I don't know, it may be just me, but I think this program is trying to be too many things.

You won't be able to get it to run on the actual empeg box. The algorithm that is used to calculate the fingerprint for the song uses floating point mathematics and the ARM processor has no floating point unit. :)

---

It's true that the arm has no floating point unit, but the Linux kernel has a natty little FP emulation library. So you can run code containing FP, it's just rather slow... =)
