On Audioscrobbler 1.2

Posted at 2:57pm on Monday, October 16th, 2006

Some of you may know (or may not know, or may not care) that I am the maintainer of pyscrobbler, a lightweight set of python classes for talking to the Audioscrobbler web services. I’ve just been pointed to the new version (1.2) of the submission protocol (read it here). Crikey. I have a job on my hands. It’s considerably better (and really helps Sleevenotez) but it’s going to be an almost complete rewrite to get the pyscrobbler code up to snuff. Volunteers are always welcome :)
