From f5e6f02a28e277de9f8f7ad72bc8e3825eb938cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adeeb Nqo Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2015 16:54:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Updated readme for the benefit of Ubuntu 14.04 The readme assumes that it is possible to get ffmpeg from the official Ubuntu repos. It is not and according to http://askubuntu.com/a/432585/103738, it will be with Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet. An alternate source has been added in the meantime. --- README.md | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index acf0acf..b602fbf 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ python-echoprint ================ -A Python library for Echonest's [Echoprint](http://echoprint.me/) music identification service. +A Python library for Echonest's [Echoprint](http://echoprint.me/) music identification service.
