Re: In need of guidance

For song recognition, check out libmusicbrainz. It's a C library though, so using it from Perl will really throw you in at the deep end. Your choices for integrating C and Perl code are realistically either Inline::C or XS.

WebService::MusicBrainz doesn't do audio fingerprinting which means that it's not especially useful for identifying songs that you don't already have at least some metadata for. Picard is a great tool - I use it extensively - but given that the original poster's aim is to learn how to code in Perl, handing him an already-written Python program doesn't help him.	[reply]

Then neither does libmusicbrainz, why did you recommend it?	[reply]
