Any way to make the audio fingerprinter work on Linux?
« on: January 13, 2026, 08:09:54 PM »
Hey everyone, I've got a question about the mitin001 audio fingerprinter (v2.5.0), especially as it pertains to making it work on the Linux Mint OS I've used as a replacement for Windows 10 for a few months now.

I don't see any mention of a Linux version on the github site for the fingerprinter, so I've attempted to run the Windows version of it in WINE. Every time I've tried to install it, it says there is no Python installed.

The error is: Command failed: python --version Can't recognize 'python --version' as an internal or external command, or batch script.

I've also tried installing a copy of the Windows version of Python (v3.10.2) in WINE to see if anything changes - nope.

And no, I don't have a dual boot with Windows on my main computer currently; 10's history and I have no intent on ever making a single keystroke in 11. I do have a spare computer with Windows 8.1, but it's very slow and I'm pretty sure Python and fingerprinter aren't installed on it, so it's a last resort option.

Anyway, if anyone's found a way to make the fingerprinter work in Linux natively, please let me know. Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

Have a look at this older message:

I do not have any experience with python, but just running any command - whether under Windows or UNIX or Linux, whether it's python or anything else - without specifying the complete path to the executable (or without a first cd to that path), the path to python needs to be part of the PATH environment variable. Ask Mr. Google how to do that under Linux Mint.
