| * Port Sony MZ-RH1 Python upload script to libnetmd - Required expertise: **Advanced** (both C and Python knowledge) | * Port Sony MZ-RH1 Python upload script to libnetmd - Required expertise: **Advanced** (both C and Python knowledge) |
| Task: Port the python code in netmd/upload.py (see: [[netmdpython]]) to C, or better add the functionality of upload.py to the C library libnetmd (see: [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/libnetmd/]]). This involves both knowledge in Python and C. Porting the Python code of upload.py will add support for the populuar upload functionality of the Sony MZ-RH1 Walkman to libnetmd allowing users to backup all their old MiniDiscs with an easy to use GUI on all supported platforms. Since the future plan is to have two C libraries (libhimd for HiMD support and libnetmd for NetMD support) which are used by GUI applications or plugins for media players like rhythmbox, Songbird or amarok, porting the Python code of upload.py to the C library would fit perfectly into the roadmap of this projects software. **Benefit**: Users will be able to backup their old MiniDisc recordings with a free software on nearly all operating systems and not just Windows/32-Bit. | Task: Port the python code in netmd/upload.py (see: [[netmdpython]]) to C, or better add the functionality of upload.py to the C library libnetmd (see: [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/libnetmd/]]).
