Lsongs : anyone get it to work with apt-get?

[Christopher Walken]

I cant get lsongs to install from sudo apt-get install lsongs or sudo apt-get sources lsongs.

i have a tar.bz file but that isnt really working out.

lsongs was written for linspire in python, and to my knowledge its the only software that will allow me to use my dell digital jukebox on linux.

http://www.lsongs.com/

here is a blog that covers this, but i cant follow it.

Re: Lsongs : anyone get it to work with apt-get?

You have to

sudo apt-get update

before you can

sudo apt-get source lsongs

I got stumped at all the python stuff, though.

Re: Lsongs : anyone get it to work with apt-get?

i tried gnomad2 and teutrino. gnomad2 seems promising but it says that it is "scanning the library" and it just hangs there forever. i can see my songs come up but i cant get to them.

doesnt anyone use a creative labs nomad mp3 player or dell digital jukebox on linux?
