Get track details from stream using gracenote python wrapper

Question

I'm using I'm using the dev version of the python wrapper for the gracenote gnsdk (gnsdk-3.06.0.1241o-20130927/wrappers/gnsdk_python/samples/musicid_stream/main.py) to identify 15 seconds of music, which seems to be working pretty well in terms of recognising the album the song is from.

Is it possible to use the data returned to get the artist, song, and other information, rather than just the album title?

Answer 1

I hope the snippet below is helpful. It gives a taste of some of the data that is available. You can also check the type() of any object returned from a query, and any objects down the hierarchy, and then find that type in gnsdk.py to see all of the methods that it supports.

Not every field will be populated for each album or track.

Enjoy. Damon
