This application allows you to apply genres to artist in your iTunes library with the most popular tags from last.fm without much effort.

What you need to do is to download ruby, choosing your platform (windows, mac, linux) and then installing rubygems along with a command to install RubyOSA (gem install rubyosa)

It is a bit confusing for most people, and I apologize for that. The benefits are that of nicely tagged songs in your iTunes library. :)

Please don't hesitate to ask more specific questions or send me an email directly.
 

I m sorry but i dont understand nothing what you say. I cant donwload ruby, i dont know where download, i dont know what means gem install rubyosa... really is difficult for me

The problem was that somehow I didn't have write access to that document.

You should maybe include a Rescue or Error for that.

Looks like a very promising app you have here! I have been using FastTagger by Spacom for a year or so but it has not been updated since 20.11.2006. I tried out your ruby script but I cant get it to work. Is it compatible with windows?

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

gem -v
0.9.4

Itunes 7.6.2.9

Microsoft Windows Vista [Version 6.0.6000]

I select a track in Itunes and run "ruby tag.rb" from cmd.
I get error:
"tag.rb:10: uninitialized constant OSA (NameError)"
 

For all Windows users, might I suggest sweeper? Looks nice!
 

Tried out sweeper - pretty nice - thanks for the suggestion!
 

I'm running Leopard and am having trouble... I have ruby installed, and I thought I had rubygems too, but when I try to do gem install rubyosa I get this:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing rubyosa:

I've tried looking on google, but haven't found anything helpful.
