Thanks. Just one thought on post-processing: from my experience using picard/musicbrainz for tagging, it will be extremely difficult to get it perfect automatically, but will always required manual intervention. As a result, I am not sure whether I would actually go for it. Each album has so many releases and no tagger will ever be able to identify the exact release. As a release, post-processing will most likely end up with the wrong release in at least 20% of the cases and then include wrong tags. I would suggest to keep post-processing limited to adding cover art and converting FLAC into ALAC as well as WAV into MP3. Pretty sure that this will make your coding-life a lot easier as well...
Instead, it would be fantastic to see the following functions, which were on the roadmap earlier:
1) Exe file instead of PY
2) Avoid duplicate albums
3) Show albums that I already own as "have" (ideally even identifying them when scanning)
4) Log file
5) Include foreign releases

Not sure how exactly SB does it, but this would be great. Basically take the best-hit if it is clear / exact, but ask if there are options to consider.
Thanks again, Headphones will soon be in the same league as SB and CP. Wow!!!
