Cover Fetcher (for AmaroK 1.4)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Fetches album art from Discogs.com and Last.fm.
The built in Amarok Cover Manager only allows fetching from amazon.com, which may be fine if your music collection largely consists of popular music. But if large parts of your music collection are vinyl rips or releases on underground labels, searching discogs.com will yield much better results.
This script allows fetching album cover art for the currently playing track from discogs.com by clicking onto any track in the playlist and selecting:
"Fetch Covers" -> "For Currently Playing Track"
Already existing local album art (image files from the currently playing track's folder) as well as relevant album art from Last.fm and Discogs.com can then be browsed / saved / deleted.
Hint:
If the window is not opening in the foreground but started minimized with the taskbar item flashing, the KDE focus stealing prevention level doesn't allow focussing our window. This can be fixed by setting this:
System Settings > Window Behaviour > Advanced > Focus Stealing Prevention Level: None
Prerequisites:
- Qt4.4.X
- PyQt4 (Python bindings for QT)

It seems strange that there is a syntax error, maybe you should try to replace the line
Releases ():
with
Releases():
(and the same for DiscogsDataFetcher)

I had the same error, and managed to solve it: seems like python (my version at least) does not like class definitions with no parameters and prantheses. The solution was changing
class Releases ():
to
class Releases:
(and so on for other class definitions complaining).
This seems to be the correct way anyhow, according to this official tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tut/node11.html
