Album Cover Art Downloader makes iPod a touch nicer

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:00:00 GMT
When ripping CDs from my own collection or (shh) my friends', I didn't always bother to include the cover art. Personally, I never considered album art for my iPod all that important. That has changed now that we have an iPod touch in the family. If I'm missing a lot of album art, the experience of virtually flipping through my music collection, something Apple calls "cover flow," is diminished. iTunes doesn't always offer art for albums I didn't purchase from iTunes. Thankfully, a little GPL-licensed application called Album Cover Art Downloader (ACAD) solved my problem.

NAME
scrobble-cli - a last.fm submitter for portable devices SYNOPSIS
scrobble-cli [options] DESCRIPTION
scrobble-cli is a program to submit information about tracks which have been listened to from a portable music player to last.fm (previously known as Audioscrobbler). scrobble-cli can read this information from .scrobbler.log files (i.e. produced by the open Rockbox firmware), from iPod databases, or from devices that use MTP (aka Plays for Sure). In addition to this, scrobble-cli can adjust the date/time information relating to when the track was listened to before uploading. This can be useful if your device is set to a different timezone to the machine you upload from. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -c, --playcounts Remove the iPod "Play Counts" database file after submission. -d, --database Submit information from an iPod database (requires -l) -h, --help Show summary of options. -l, --location <path> Filesystem location of the .scrobbler.log file, or the iPod database. For .scrobbler.log this should be the path to, and including the file name. For iPods, this should normally be the mount point - (/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB is automatically appended to this path). -m, --mtp Submit from a MTP (aka Plays for Sure) device -n, --now Recalculates the times each track was played before submission. Automatically enabled if using a .scrobbler-timeless.log or MTP device. -p, --password <password> Last.fm account password -r, --recalc <datetime> Recalculates the play time for each track. <datetime> should be a UNIX timestamp. -t, --timestamp <offset> Override the detected system timezone offset from UTC <offset> is the number of hours from UTC, i.e. +3, -4.5 -u, --username <username> Last.fm account username -v, --verbose <level> Output verbosity level -w, --proxy_host <hostname> Proxy hostname or IP address (requires -x) -x, --proxy_port <port> Proxy port number (requires -w) -y, --proxy_user <username> Username for proxy authentication -z, --proxy_pass <password> Password for proxy authentication WWW
