The centipede was very good at walking with its hundred legs. It never spent a thought on just how it could walk. Until one day, when a big black bug asked the centipede “How can you manage to walk with all those feet? Don’t you find it hard to coordinate their rhythm?” The black bug already left, when the centipede was still sitting down, pondering how it could walk, wondering, and (for the first time in his life) even worrying a little bit. From that day on, the centipede couldn’t walk anymore.

— New Last.fm Tagger Written in RubyCocoa

So, I’m trying my hand at Cocoa, namely RubyCocoa. Objective-C is a bit out of my grasp right now. If I start needing big performance boosts, I’ll go that route. In the meantime, writing RubyCocoa apps is insanely fun. I wrote this basic tagger in 2 days (roughly 6 hours) and it works pretty well! If you plan on trying out this app, create a small playlist with the name ‘lastfmtagger’ and put a few albums in there. Problems I am aware of:

  1. Can’t load huge iTunes library/playlist yet without taking forever to load
  2. App craps out if the file is missing in iTunes when trying to write
  3. Some more I can’t think of right now…
Give it a shot, and let me know what you think. Here’s a screenshot.
