NAME


scrobbler-helper - submit a track to AudioScrobbler

SYNOPSIS


scrobbler-helper [-nv] [-e encoding] [-f configfile] -P progname
-V progver title artist album year comment genre length

DESCRIPTION


The scrobbler-helper utility uses the "Audio::Scrobbler" module to submit a single track's
information to Last.fm's AudioScrobbler - http://www.audioscrobbler.com/. It requires the
program (plug-in) name and version to be specified on the command line, and also requires
all seven track attributes, although some of them may be omitted by supplying empty
strings.

The following command-line options are recognized:

-e encoding
Specify the character encoding of the track info, if it is neither UTF-8 nor the one
specified via default_encoding in the configuration file.

-f configfile
Specify a different configuration file, not ~/.scrobbler-helper.conf.

-n Do not actually perform the handshake and submission (sets the "Audio::Scrobbler"
"fake" option).

-P progname
Specify the name of the AudioScrobbler plug-in submitting the data. This option is
mandatory!

-v Verbose operation - display diagnostic messages to the standard output (sets the
"Audio::Scrobbler" "verbose" option).

-V progver
Specify the version of the AudioScrobbler plug-in submitting the data. This option is
mandatory!

Besides the command line, the scrobbler-helper utility also retrieves information from a
per-user configuration file, usually ~/.scrobbler-helper.conf; it is a INI-style file,
which must contain a secion named "global". The following variables are recognized, with
username and password being mandatory:

· default_encoding

The encoding to assume for the track info, if none is supplied with the -e command-
line option. If neither -e is given on the command line nor default_encoding
specified in the configuration file, the scrobbler-helper utility assumes UTF-8.

· fix_track_name

A boolean flag specifying whether to do some trivial fixes on the song name before
submitting it. Currently, this only removes a "DD. " sequence at the start of the
name, where 'D' is a digit.

The values "on", "true", "yes", and 1 are considered to be true.

· password

The password for the AudioScrobbler account.

· username

The username for the AudioScrobbler account.

[global]
username=jrandomlistener
password=mylittlesecret
# Optional (the default is UTF-8)
default_encoding=windows-1251
# Optional (the default is "no")
fix_track_name=yes

TODO


· Command-line options, so people don't have to submit everything...

· Storing and caching of unsuccessful submissions for later retrying.
