Headphones - Music albums & artists auto download program

will that script work on a windows box?

AlbumIdentify works with bashscripts so I don't think so. If you could find a windows commandline tagger it could be used together with a windows batchscript I think, but I'm afraid you'd have to write that yourself.

There is an extensive python based tagging library, which maybe could be integrated into headphones... I think with this is the most cross-platform way it could be build...

would it be possible to make it a exe like sickbeards?

You could try, looks not that complicated:

ok cool will check that out

@Mar2zz Great script have it up an running on my box
Question: Is there a way to tell albumidentify to prefer releases on musicbrainz that have album art attached? A few of my albums were tied to releases with no cover art which destroys my Shelf view in xbmc. Each of these releases had other versions that were the same only they had the cover art.

I don't know, that's outside the scope of my scripts and not ontopic with Headphones. I think you need to request such a thing @ albumidentify.git

First off great program. I'm having in issue with it scraping my files however. I point headphones at my albums folder (All directories inside this folder at set up as "Artist - Album\Track # - Title") and it starts chugging along but after a while it produces this error message:


Not sure what's up with it, It has added about 55 artist but there should be a few hundred more.

I think, but it's a wild guess, too many connections hammering musicbrainz so it blocks your ip for a short while, giving back a 403 as error.

The same happened to me. Big library's can't be added this way (mine has over 200 artists in it, compilations not counted), so I gave up and I am adding now only artists by hand (through the search option)


I just wrote two short guides on how to postprocess musicfiles headphones sends to sabnzbd (linux only):

Do you have the latest version from github? There was a problem when Headphones was trying to get album information for 'Various Artists'. That's what threw back the 403 Forbidden error.

Number of artists shouldn't matter, since it's pausing between queries.

If you do have the latest version which fixes this issue, PM me so I can take a look at your artist list.
