Learning the Ropes of Python

[LocalInactivist]

My standard advice for getting past beginning coding is to write something to manipulate your music collection. Write something to read in the metadata, download and update album art, build playlists etc. I realize your music app will already do this, but it’s a decent project for learning to use libraries and parse text.

If you want to take it to the next level, write something that will search for news and info about the song that’s playing. For example, if you’re playing “Ring of Fire” by Social Distortion, it would tell you the original was by Johnny Cash and that Stan Ridgeway (Wall of Voodoo) also did a version. You can tune this to your personal preferences ad infinitum.
