I’ve finally created a project page for the project which has taken up most of my development time for the past year or so. Loot is essentially a port of mokash to the Android OS. Except people actually own phones that run Android.

I’ve been testing msync for close to a month now, and I feel that I can finally say that it’s ready for release. I encountered a few bugs dealing with the efficiency of syncing multiple playlists, wildcards, and syncing albums with the same title, but I’ve fixed those errors and it is working very well now. If you’re interested, make sure you have python 2.5+ with the sqlite and PIL modules installed, and download it.

I’ve approached a point with msync where it seems to be stable enough (i.e. I can’t think of where else to go with/what else to add to the base library). I’m going to start working to test everything for everyday use by starting a library with my music collection and using it to manage my Sansa files. I’ll be sure to post again once I’ve decided to start working on the GUI frontend for it. In the meantime, I’ve attached the help information for anyone interested in seeing what it can do.

Here’s a little script I created to copy all of the covers from my mp3 folders over to my flac folders. It also came in handy a few days ago when I accidentally deleted all of the covers that were present on my Sansa.

#! /usr/bin/env python
 
import os
import sys
import shutil
import string
 
for root, dir, files in os.walk(sys.argv[1]):
    if len(dir) == 0:
        copy_from = sys.argv[2] + '/' + root.replace(sys.argv[1],'').translate(
                string.maketrans(':<>\|*?','_______'))
        try:
            for file in os.listdir(copy_from):
                if file == '.directory' or file.endswith(('.jpg','.jpeg','.png','.gif','.bmp')):
                    copy_file = copy_from + '/' + file
                    shutil.copy(copy_file, root)
        except OSError: pass
