Nice job

Just checking out the gadget and it works  well!

Just wondering: with the 'ok' or number buttons I cannot get my tux to say the artist or song name. However there are also no errors displayed when trying to launch this function..

Maybe I'm just missing something?

Since I do not see where this error may come from, let's try to check things:

1. Can you give your python and rhythmbox version ?
2. Do you had a look at the error.log and debug.log files in  /opt/tuxdroid/apps/tux_framework/ ?

If we do not find anything out if this, I will give you some python script to test.

Hey Se,

have you checked your Id3 tags ?
