Hi PyToners!
Taking the chance of the Swiss national holiday, I finally managed
to build a new major release of PyTone. As usual, it can be found
under
http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-3.0.0.tar.gz
It contains a completely new database code based on the SQLite database. I thus
recommend using the latest Python version with a corresponding built-in
binding.
Note that the migration of old databases will not be supported. The same holds
true (at least currently) for setups with more than one database. Remote
database are completely untested, and currently not supported, as well.
The new database code should be much more performant and already allows a
couple of nice things which had been impossible before. Furthermore, I used the
opportunity to include more metadata in the database. The preferred (read: most
tested) ID3 decoder is now the mutagen module

I'm sure there will be a couple of loose ends with this release. Since I cannot
spend too much time on PyTone, it's sometimes hard to keep the overview,
especially if there are that many changes like in this release. So please be
graceful with me!
Have fun,
Jörg
Hi PyToners!
Here comes another PyTone release,
http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-3.0.1.tar.gz
This release fixes the tag filtering and adds two more virtual directories: One
which contains only the songs which have been played once and the other only
the songs matching (either in title, album or artist name) a given search
string (use "f" for "focus on). This should be a handy search alternative.
Last but not least, I've enabled the lyrics display (use "L").
Have fun,
Jörg
