Looking at the code this doesn't seem so simple.

Why or who wants to have to carry a printed copy with them or have a

Install Tonido on your Server and have direct up to date listing access
to ALL your movies and music directly on you Smart Phone from anywhere
you have an Internet Connection via WiFi or your Cellular Provider's
coverage! And here is the bonus, every time you add or rip a CD or Movie
to your server, it is immediately on Tonido the next time you open the
App without any work on your part.

I have my Smart Phone with Tonido App wherever I go, CD Warehouse,
Goodwill, Church yard sale, Walmart, or any location where I can pickup
additional Digital Media.

How about sort by (a pick of Artist or Album Artist), Year, Album

Thanks for that, just given it a try. It's now working, and produces a 158
page PDF file from my library.

A few observations:

1. There are lots of warnings about uninitialised values while it is
running.

2. The font used in the output is a bit small for my taste. Any chance of
allowing the size to be configurable?

3. The track listings seem to be a bit scrunched up to me.

4. Nowhere (that I can see) does it list the album name and artist.

5. A number of albums have no tracks listed in them, all they have is the 
coverart and '1-00.' next to it.

6. The program does not correctly handle unicode characters.

7. For multi-disk albums, it might be better to try to break the track
listing into each disk? I suspect this may be a personal preference, so you
might want to make this optional.

8. Some of the albums have tracks missing. For example one goes from 1-01 to
1-13, then 2-14 to 2-26 (looking at it, it's possible that this is down to
the way the files are tagged...)

If you want to contact me offline, I can give you a copy of my resultant PDF
file if it would help.

Thanks for the update.

Andy

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] PDF Catalogue

Ok

I have updated the script to now use login. You can also specify the
parameters on the command line if you prefer.

Options are:

-v print version and exit
-h print help and exit
-u  specify the user
-p  specify the password
-o  specify the output file
-H  specify the host url

omitting any of these will default to the preset at the top of the file.

I like the idea.
Have you experimented with a printed QR or barcode that would send LMS a
play:// URL? 
I am sure browsing a paper collection offers a great user experience; 
I've been wondering how the roundtrip to the digital realm would feel
like.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] PDF Catalogue

[teeitup]

Having a catalog of some sort can be very helpful.

I keep a directory listing of my music library on my phone. This comes
in handy when I'm at the used record store or searching amazon. Having
an album list handy ensures I don't end up with duplicates. Running my
LMS on a Linux server makes this to do using the find or tree command.

Your offering seems to produce a more comprehensive listing of a music
collection. 

Thanks,

Looks interesting, but doesn't seem to work on my server. Could it be that
my server needs a password?

Would be nice if the script could handle this, and also get the parameters
from command line arguments. Any chance of adding the password feature at
least?

Thanks

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] PDF Catalogue

[oneshot]

Hi

Thought this may be of some use to a few people. I have produced a
script which produces a PDF catalogue of the albums in LMS. It uses the
command line interface to interrogate LMS and the perl PDF::API2 library
to produce the catalogue.

It works out space requirements so that an album doesn't span a page.

It prints the album title, artist and year, the album art and a track
listing for each album. For large libraries the output can get large. I
have 295 albums and the output runs to 60 pages.

It can be downloaded from http://www.while.org.uk/lmspdfcreator - there
is also an example of the output on that page.
