The world is drowning in individual music files astray with corrupt
metadata, insignificant file names, and no way to identify the
music.
MusicDNS and the Open Fingerprint Architecture provide a system
for identifying a piece of music with nothing more than the sound
of the piece itself.
MusicDNS is the largest single dataset of acoustic fingerprints in
the world with more than 16 million individual tracks identified
and growing DAILY! With the Open Fingerprint client-code, tracks
can be identified consistently against the MusicDNS dataset, and
new tracks are easily added.
The Open Fingerprint is deployed world-wide--and now the client
source code is available under Open Source license.
Use the fingerprint code freely, or hook it up to the largest
repository of fingerprinted tracks on the planet--MusicDNS. Free
client keys for developers and non-profits are available on the
website. For commercial deployment, use the low-cost MusicDNS.com
service from MusicIP.
Changes for libmusicbrainz 2.1.3
-------------------------------------
- New queries for selecting album artists:
- MBS_SelectAlbumArtist
- MBE_AlbumGetAlbumArtistName
- MBE_AlbumGetAlbumArtistSortName
- New query MBE_AlbumGetCdindexId
- Using size_t instead of int in networking code
- Little fixes in the API documentation
- Python bindings:
- Using the new ctypes 0.9.9.x API, with support to fallback to
the old API if only an old ctypes version is installed
- Removed dependency on ctypes in setup.py
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto

that ran configure, which failed on Darwin because imake didn't pass all
variables in CONFIGURE_ENV.
This fixes PR 33812. The package still does not build on Darwin due to
link errors.
You'll need a set of gst plugins, depending on what you do.
Eg gst-plugins0.10-flac for FLAC encoding, -ogg for OGG... Making
all these full dependencies would revert the whole sense of "plugins".
set OVERRIDE_DIRDEPTH to find any libtool scripts deeper in the WRKSRC
tree unless they're named something other than "libtool".
SHLIBTOOL_OVERRIDE generally doesn't need to be specified either -- just
define it to the empty list and shlibtool-override will look for libtool
scripts.
