suggestive requires a LastFM API key to operate. If you already have a LastFM account, you can get one on the LastFM API accounts page. Then, you will need to put this in your ~/.suggestive.conf file, as explained in the Configuration section. Make sure to replace the api_key and api_secret with your own from the LastFM API page.

[thesquelched]

Oh, also, make sure that you have mpd running and that the connection information in ~/.suggestive.conf is correct. See https://github.com/thesquelched/suggestive/blob/master/suggestive.conf.example for more information.

~ ❯❯❯ cat suggestive/.suggestive.conf
[lastfm]
user = shatteringlass
api_key = 5665728e2a68432f4276c39616fa8839

[mpd]
host = 10.0.2.2
port = 6600

So you suggest that adding the api_key field is enough?

This is terminal output after adding api_secret field (yeah, it's pretty much the same as before). Also, mpd is up and running and I can hook ncmpcpp to 10.0.2.2:6600 without problems.

[thesquelched]

I think you just have the config file in the wrong place; suggestive actually doesn't look in the current directory (there was a slight typo in the README file). You can test this using the -c CLI option, e.g. bin/suggestive -c <PATH TO FILE>. You can also just copy the config file to$HOME/.suggestive.conf`. Sorry for the confusion.

[shatteringlass]

Thank you, using ./bin/suggestive -c <'CONF_FILE'> worked just fine. Looking forward to using your app!

[thesquelched]

Thanks for giving it a try! It's in early development now, so bug reports and/or suggestions are welcome.

[shatteringlass]

I am in the process of creating the music library as of now. I am running your app on a virtual machine in my OSX install, in which my mpd server resides. Sadly I had troubles compiling urwid for OSX, so I had to pull this off. I will gladly contribute to bug reporting. Keep up your good work.
