Another question.
Which is the "newer"/"better" version to use?
Python or plain vbs?

I see the VBS having more releases but cant tell which is the more advanced one.

Apologies for the lack of action, I've been off holidaying in India, what can I say.

Not as such - at the moment, you have to run the exe, but this will still get the popup of username and settings etc.
Added to the TODO list.

Does anyone have an approach?

Best way at the moment - change the name in MM to match what appears on last.fm
I'm looking at fuzzy matching, this is a little way off though.

Python will be replacing the vbs version as soon as I get around to updating the package to the same name, and uploading it to MM's addon repo.
The python version available from this thread / my website, is stable as is, and this will be the version replacing the VBS version.

Thanks Psyker.
Much appreciated.

Having a tough time parsing the "unMatched.txt" file into an easily readable format.
Is there a way to do that, or write into a csv friendly format?

Nothing urgent as the tool works a charme as is, but would help me in my endeavor to make it all match

Updates!

Version numbers have been combined, python version is now version 3.x

Version 3.1 has been released:

• Updated version numbers to be consistant with old vbs script.
• Renamed files to remove references to python specific version
• Added command line argument for non interactive.
• Changes export files to be in a nice csv format.

Has also been submitted to the MM addon repo, awaiting approval.

Enjoy

Awesome.
Thanks Psyker.
Will give this a whirl once home later today.
Especially excited about the new CSV format.

Getting an error message with the new version :

Results :
Error was encountered, rerunning will resume where you left off

<type 'exception.UnicodeEncodeError'>: 'ascii' codec cant encode character u'\xe4' in position 6 : ordinal not in range(128)

I assume that is due to umlaut character and ascii 7bit vs 8bit encoding.

I just ran this for the first time (VBS version) and received the same error.

Thanks for the script, btw. Like some others here, I finally got fed up with the latest version of iTunes and moved to MM. So far, so good.

Unicode is a pain, I thought I'd covered all the cases (it's actually occuring when trying to write out the csv results - but it doesn't commit the database changes unless this succeeds)

I'll get an update done later today hopefully.

Hey Psykar.
COuld you make any progress on this?

ascii error over here too it would be really cool to get my play count back

I was clearly overly optimistic with my free time...

Version 3.0 should still work without unicode issues, the bits you're missing out on are which shouldn't be a big deal I hope.

• Added command line argument for non interactive.
• Changes export files to be in a nice csv format.

The next week or two are looking pretty full unfortunately, but if I find time I'll get it up asap.

Same error here.

And so my flight to Sydney got cancelled.

Good news is you guys get the update finally!

It'll get updated shortly on the Addon page, or you can get it directly from
http://psykar.com/script-files/LastFmImport-3.2.mmip

Single change to fix the unicode issues!

Fixed the link in the original post (oops)
You should be able to auto-update from inside MM though (loving the new addon repo)

Let me know if there are any further issues!

"No update server available." (As opposed to "No update available" seen on other extensions.)
