Always at http://www.tbueter.com/tools/headphones_win32build.zip .
You can check wether a new version is available via http://www.tbueter.com/tools/version.txt - if it differs from your local version.txt, you can update.
For an update just overwrite the files.

@steve1977: Actually - you have an advantage by running the python version since you can use the built-in updater which isn't yet available with the exe-version. Also: You are bound to my updates, and I will _always_ be slower than rembo10. The advantage of the exe is, that you do not have to install Python on your machine.

I can take a stab at this:

1: download and install python, 2.7.3 is the most recent (http://www.python.org/download/)
2: download the source from github (https://github.com/rembo10/headphones/zipball/master)
3: extract the contents somewhere
4: double-click on headphones.py

That's all I did anyway and it works like a charm. There's probably some way to keep the terminal window from popping up, but it doesn't really bother me so I didn't look that up.

Also if you're using the windows version just copy over the config file from the 'old' headphones directory into the new one so you don't have to set everything up again.

Does this update via the web gui also? How can I make this startup on boot? Can I just make a shortcut of the headphones.py and put it in the startup folders?

Yes to both question Smile I was a little hesitant to run the python version just because I have no experience with it but there's really nothing to it.

Im having the same trouble with the artists loading slowly and it only loading about 10 artists. Im also having another issue though. it isn't pulling in any albums, its only scanning extras. So i get singles and EP's for each artist I scan or add, but no albums at all.

Im running the latest GIT version on a linux machine. Im using the musicbrainz server not the headphones one as I don't have a headphones account.

Any help would be appreciated.

I could be wrong about this, but I believe musicbrainz is throttling headphones traffic. It will be very, very slow. Rembo has mirrored the server and made it accessible after a small donation which greatly increases the access time. I'm getting about 5-10 seconds per album now. Not super fast, but better than before.

I understand this, Once I get it working and its working well i will consider a donation, Im still trying to test it. My major concern is that Im not gettting any albums when I pull, only ep's, singles, lives, etc...

That is strange. I was at least getting a few before switching to the headphones server. Do you have the box checked on the Advanced Settings page for "Automatically Include Extras?"

no I don't, I even checked it, restarted headphones, unchecked it restarted headphones again, and its still doing the same thing.
