Hi,

I'd like to get audio summaries for different songs...just wondering where I find the song ID's that get passed to the constructor when creating song objects?

thnx

Mika

There are a number of calls that return song IDs including song/search and the playlist APIs. If you want to get the audio summary for a particular song, search for it and add the audio_summary to the buckets. Here's a pythonic example:

> from pyechonest import song
>res=song.search(artist='weezer', title='el scorcho', buckets=['audio_summary'])
> res[0]
     <song - El Scorcho>
> res[0].audio_summary
