I installed libmagic and python-magic before installing eydD3 but still get this error. I am using python 2.7 and eyeD3 0.8.4. Here is the entire error message:

c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages>eyeD3

    raise ImportError('failed to find libmagic.  Check your installation')
ImportError: failed to find libmagic.  Check your installation


It looks like I need magic1.dll, but why wasn't it already downloaded when I installed libmagic? So where would I get this DLL do download it manually, assuming I have correctly identified the problem?

@MichaelDBA , this is likely a dup of #132. Reopen if you are still having problems.
