Modified punctuations in first paragraph.

[oyooyo]

Those commas look strange to me. Are you sure they are correct?

[NiladriGoswami]

Double checked in Grammarly

[oyooyo]

Interesting. Since grammarly seems to require installing a webbrowser extension, I instead just used three other grammar checker services (https://languagetool.org/ , https://www.scribens.com/ , https://www.grammarcheck.net/editor/ ), but none of them complained about missing commas in that sentence. I currently suspect that grammarly did not quite get the actual meaning of that sentence, maybe because not the punctuation but the english itself is bad. Or maybe grammarly was kind of confused because there is no verb in the part after the colon or something...

I think I'll leave this open for now until maybe a fluent english speaker comes along who can confirm or refute this.

[NiladriGoswami]

Cool. Keep it open as of now. If I get some spare time, I'll check again.

hi, is it possible to help me to run this script on windows?? i dont now the python language.. is it possible to make this script run as exe program with easy panel that i can choose with button the mp3 or smp file which i want to convert ?

[kisto-crypto]

or if you can post any video with the steps because i dont know how i can give on the python program the destination of mp3 or smp files? how i can choose to do encrypt or descrypt... very confuse for begginers ...

[NiladriGoswami]

As of now I don't know python Language. But I'll try to find out some sort of video clips or articles which might help you to do so. Will it be cool?

@kisto-crypto Sorry, this is a command-line tool, not a program with a graphical user interface (GUI).
On a german forum, someone recently published a similar tool for Windows which is probably just what you're looking for:
https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/503014#6512781 (attached file Smp2Mp3.zip) I have not tested this tool, so I cannot tell you anything about it.

Be aware however that the tool probably only works for the device called "hachette" in this project, not for the "LIDL Storyland", so if you can actually use it depends on what device you own.

[kisto-crypto]

oyooyo ok! i accept is only command line tool ! how i can use your code? which program? i thought was python .. but unfortunatly i dont now how to input the mp3 file to convert it to smp... for example i open idle python and when i start to put $..... the program appears me tha $ is not a acceptable ..symbol.. i try to write encrypt.. again..the python appears me that is not accept encrypt..

[oyooyo]

@kisto-crypto I can easily understand why you're having these problems. The script can run on all operating systems, but how to actually use it is probably only obvious for people who are familiar with using a command-line (which probably comes down to developers and people using Linux). And must seem unnecessarily complicated for all others.

The first important thing is that you must not start by opening Python itself, but by opening a "command-line" or "shell" or however it's called on Windows. It looks similar to this:

and you can usually open it by typing cmd in the windows search bar.

In that window, you enter the commands shown in the documentation. But unfortunately, you cannot simply type in what's written in the documentation. For example, the documentation states that the command:

$ audiocube.py -h

will show the general usage description. But that's not exactly what you would enter. Instead, if you downloaded the audiocube.py script to, say, the directory D:\Downloads\audiocube\, then what you need to actually enter is:

D:\Downloads\audiocube\audiocube.py -h

And you'd enter that after the part that's shown as C:\Users\Tim> in the image above, which on your computer will be something slightly different.

For some more detailed instructions on how to run Python scripts on Windows, a look at the Windows section of the Python FAQ might help you.

hi thanks a lot!! for your kind help!! i m trying!! :) i know the basics of dos language but no something more! ok i open the with cmd the dos command.. and i find the folder with the audiocube file using dos commands.. can you help me how i can convert lena.mp3 to SMP ? Lena.mp3 is C:\lena.mp3

[oyooyo]

@kisto-crypto Judging from your screenshot, you have a LIDL Storyland, so the command you have to enter to convert file C:\lena.mp3 to C:\lena.SMP should be:

audiocube.py storyland encrypt C:\lena.mp3

However, there are two more things you need to be aware of:

1. In case of the LIDL Storyland, it is not enough to encrypt the .mp3 file. Before encrypting the .mp3 file, it needs to have valid ID3 tags, otherwise the device will not play it. See here for more information
2. Before or after copying the encrypted file lena.SMP to the storage of your LIDL Storyland, you need to rename it. For example, if you wanted to play the lena.mp3 file when you place the "ΑΓΙΟΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΗΣ" figure on the Storyland, you'd have to rename the .SMP file to L0013.SMP.

[kisto-crypto]

yes i know!! thankssss you a lot!! worked!! i just decrypt the L0010.smp to L0010.mp3!! :) i know that i must rename and make it ID3 before the convert!! i havent got words to thank you!! you are the best! :)
