Listen Music Player 0.5 is now available

[Patskumaster]

to Patskumaster

sudo gedit /usr/lib/listen/const.py

then remove from consty.py the lines where the letters are non-english letters ( look strange ).
there are 3 or 4 lines at the bottom of document.

then start again with command : listen -> u will receive the second error on other file ( i dont remember exact ...), at line 716 or some. Do the same thing on this file - is a single strange letter before a declaration.

After that U will have some errors regarding dbus invocation procedure. Will not work as user with 'listen' command but will work with 'sudo listen'.

I still hope on a stable version on Feisty.

Best Luck

Thanks to help! I edited const.py and song.py(line 716) files.
Now I get following error:

$ listen

Could you tell me how the letter on line 716 looks like, because I can't seem to find it.

Song.py line 716 looks like this:

#|Â tunepimp.tpThreadLookupPUID | tunepimp.tpThreadLookupFile )

Ps. Sorry for my English. I hope you understand my text.

#|Â tunepimp.tpThreadLookupPUID | tunepimp.tpThreadLookupFile )
shoult be:
# tunepimp.tpThreadLookupPUID | tunepimp.tpThreadLookupFile )

after U correct all of these - U can start Listen from terminal using 'sudo listen'. Don't look at console errors - Listen will work.

Good Audition !

Big Thanks! Now Listen works.

Does anybody know if there will be some package/repository like before? Or can anyone contact Theli and ask (I wasn't able to find any email on his site)?

It seems that compiling it is quite complicated, building a package may be even more.

I'm having issues installing listen and i have read through the entire post , when i run ./check.py i get this back:

Can't get Mutagen 1.8 installed.

After doing the tar command in my home directory, it is unpacked but then ..
When i type

./setup.py

i get an error

bash: ./setup.py: No such file or directory

Can somebody help me out ?

I did

wget http://www.sacredchao.net/~piman/sof...gen-1.8.tar.gz
tar xvfz mutagen-1.8.tar.gz
cd mutagen*
./setup.py build
sudo ./setup.py install

, and now Mutagen 1.10 is installed , but the Listen setup gives many more errors.

I stick with version 4.3 for now.

That's my only negative experience with Linux ( Ubuntu ) ...
UPDATING software is almost impossible or takes hours !!!
I can't believe I'm still trying

Does anybody get to work Audio-CDs with this?
I installed python-musicbrainz2-0.4.1 and it doesn't complain about "No Audio cd support" anymore but Listen still doesn't recognize my CDs.

When I put a CD in my drive and start Listen afterwards I get this:

W:MusicBrainzAudioCD:No disk id

btw: it still complains about

No musicbrainz support (tunepimp missing or version < 0.5)

does this have anything to do with it?
I tried installing libtunepimp-0.5.3 but it complains about way too many dependencies and since I don't care about musicbrainz, I gave up on that.

Try adding the musicbrainz repo, I'll look for specifics hold on.....

Got it!
add this line to your /etc/apt/source.lst

#musicbrainz repo
deb http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/users/luks/ubuntu edgy musicbrainz

Then apt-get install libtunepimp5

This should grab everything you need
