This is useful for adding MusicBrainz lookup capabilities to other applications. MusicBrainz is a community music metadatabase that attempts to create a comprehensive music information site. You can use the MusicBrainz data either by browsing the web site, or you can access the data from a client program — for example, a CD player program can use MusicBrainz to identify CDs and provide information about the CD, about the artist or other related information. &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libmusicbrainz-md5sum; Download size: &libmusicbrainz-size; Estimated disk space required: &libmusicbrainz-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libmusicbrainz-time; Additional Downloads Required patch: libmusicbrainz Dependencies Optional to Build the Python Bindings User Notes: Install libmusicbrainz by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../libmusicbrainz-&libmusicbrainz-version;-missing-includes-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make If Python is installed, build the bindings with the following commands: (cd python && python setup.py build) This package does not come with a stand-alone test suite (to test you must have Python installed and perform the test after the package is installed).
