AmarokCloud creates a "tagcloud" using Amarok database by score or play count.
Are you an Amarok user struggling to organize your music database? AmarokCloud might just be the software solution you've been looking for. This script generates a "tagcloud" from your Amarok database by score or times played, so you can easily visualize the most popular genres or artists in your collection.
Using AmarokCloud is simple. You can execute it via a less-than-perfect GUI, or by navigating to the command line and entering "amarokcloud.py /path/to/collection.db datatype scoringtype". Your collection is typically located at /home/user/.kde/share/apps/amarok/collection.db.
Datatype is the data you want to generate the cloud from–it's either genre or artist. Meanwhile, scoringtype decides how to calculate the score. It can be difficult to understand at first, but once you get the hang of it, AmarokCloud's functions can make organizing your digital music library a breeze.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room. We'll be honest– the GUI is not the best we've seen. However, it does its job, and if you're willing to overlook its less-than-perfect appearance, AmarokCloud can be an extremely useful resource.
In the end, it's all about priorities. If you're willing to overlook a subpar GUI in favor of organized, well-managed music libraries, AmarokCloud might be worth checking out. After all, as the developer suggests: "I don't have time to learn PyQt."
