First things first. I agree with everyone when they say that Mac's suck. Now that we're past that, you don't need to purchase a Mac in order to use Mac OSX. You can get VMware Player for free which you can then install OSX inside of right in your beautiful Win2k/XP/Vista install. You can download Intel compatible images of OSX from mininova or torrentspy. Make sure you get the one for your chipset. Also, ya need a USB keyboard and mouse (since that's all Mac's have.) Need any info on setting up, etc. goto hxxp://www.osx86project.org/ . And, just so you know, I've gotten this working on really cheap/basic hardware and it ran just fine. There's some wierdness with NIC drivers where you need a specific chipset on your card, but other then that, almost everything else is supported but maybe a lil buggy. Hope this helps the development of some of these mods for those Mac users out there that can't quit their **** and buy a real computer.

Here's a Mac program that makes it easy to use ThatJon's script on Mac OS X. Just move the getlabels.py file to your songs folder and then run the app. Terminal will open and it will download all the labels that match.

Python should be installed by default, and is obviously needed. Any other trouble, feel free to PM me.

If you're familiar with Terminal, simply run python from your "songs" directory opening getlabels.py.

I wish we could edit posts for longer than whatever it's set to on this forum...

Anyway, Get Labels 1.1 for Mac is out. It works faster and is easier to install.

Works like an ABSOLUTE charm! I was amazed that it worked (no offence intended, at all), since I never would of dreamed of something that worked this well! ... I'd never dream of a computer game tool anyway.

Thanks heaps!

It would've made sense to sticky it earlier, but now that a lot of newer members that would need this are moving towards the CD model over the cassette model, it's moving out of it's golden days. Like the N64.

Still an amazing app, though.

Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.

So long, farewell.

Maybe Winniez would agree to upload CD-covers onto his server? Then the app could be modified to support CD-cover downloading... The parser is in place, so it shouldn't be too hard, true? Of course I'm assuming that both Winniez and ThatJon are still actively participating in the FoF community. =)

If it was hosting on winniez's site, it might just sink it. After looking at the CD labels topic it looks like Divra tried to make a site like Winniez's to host the CD labels (here), but it doesn't look like it's fully functioning at the moment. It would be possible to get this labeller to work with his database, and it would take minimal work, but as far as I can see Divra's site isn't hosting anything.

Hosting all the CD labels on Winniez's site is illogical. Divra's has hope. And we would need ThatJon's permission to mess with it.

Possible!

Building song list...

File "getlabels.py", line 58, in ?
parser.read(inifile)
File "ConfigParser.pyc", line 267, in read
File "ConfigParser.pyc", line 490, in _read
ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: C:\Games\FOF\data\songs

Turns out that the song.ini was read-only... replaced it with a new one and it all worked.
