What happened to my iTunes -> amarok script?

Hm, I've got a couple of comments on a post about a script I made a couple of years ago that converts all of your iTunes data into the Linux amarok db format. Unfortunately I have no idea where it went. I must have accidentally deleted it at some point.

Oh well. I got several emails back in the day telling me people found it useful, but doing a quick google suggests that somebody else has made a much better solution than my quickly hacked together perl script did. Plus I'm sure both have changed their data formats slightly enough to break my script.

Ah, to be breifly fameous to 10 people.

Cheers!

No worries Brian I know where the problem lies. You have the KbotTT41 subscripts underunning to the BBF664 drive of the HUB6F9 dinosaw-lentil-cocker-spanial-reverse carrot system. All you need is to underlet the GGZ9spider-baby drive to the HG-enlarged-monkeys-testicle-Z9-deathbot system before re-downloading your zuba-zuba necrozombie-attackmouse files. After this press the blue button and all shall be sorted. Let me know how it goes :-)

Hm, tried that, but I don't think the monkey's testicle was large enough.

Ah! Awesome. I never thought this would have been important enough for someone to bother archiving. Thanks!
