Pittsey - headphones is different to sickbeard in that it doesn't rely on a strict folder hierarchy to manage albums. It uses individual songs metadata instead.... So populating the list this way wont work. I have a function in importer.y, that will take a list of artists, and turn them into mbid's and start adding them. You might be able to run that function on its own, but I'm not 100% sure since headphones needa to be running to intitialize cetain variables. It's worth a shot though. If you can make a list of your artists like this [artist1, artist2, ...] ( a quick google will have a guide), you can then pipe that list into the headphones function by doing so ething like:
from headphones.importer import artistlist_to_mbids
artistlist_to_mbids(your list)
bisk: As for flac - it does the encoding first, then applies the metadata, i thin because ffmpeg stips tags out anyways? I'm not 100% sure about that. But when the metadata is applied, is it not being applied to the mp3 or something
CBers: check the console output when you try to update, it may be a permossions problem pr ypu may have some modified files or something
