I would like to add that software engineering typically has a much quicker design iteration cycle than circuit design, since your experiment phase is limited only by how quickly your compiler compiles your code, rather than how quickly you can build a new circuit.

More creative and like discrete math? I also am interested in both EE and CS. The only reason I picked CS is because EE is harder for me and "yes" require more math and physics. But I guess we are on the same boat. Hmm, not a good enough reason to switch. More creative and like discrete math? I also am interested in both EE and CS.

“return the xml” in the actual script (after “if thexml does not start with “failed” then) also works, writes the following (without the —)
———————————–

metal

thrash metal

is it possible that the ” and \” cause the problems?

I would first test to see if you are getting the xml file with the tag information. Try to open terminal and running this: curl -d api_key=b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026 -d method=track.gettoptags -d artist=Metallica -d track=One http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/ This uses the api key from the api documentation. I'm not sure how to help you if that fails. If that returns ok then I would go back to the script and insert return thexml after the set thexml command and see if it returns the tags or if it fails. I'll test this out with my friend's MacBook to try to narrow down the problem. Good luck. I used the return function heavily while I was debugging the script.
