"""A simple program for using pylastfp to fingerprint and look up
metadata for MP3 files. Usage:

    $ python lastmatch.py [-m] mysterious_music.mp3
    
By default, the script uses Gstreamer to decode audio. The -m flag
makes it use MAD instead (which, of course, only works on MPEG audio
such as MP3). To use the script, of course, you'll need to have
either Gstreamer (and its Python bindings) or pymad installed.
