New Feature Suggestion - SoundHound / Shazam integration

[larray]

Allow for tag extraction from SoundHound/Shazam to populate Artist/Album/Song information for new Headphones requests.

The best solution I could propose for this is from the SoundHound or Shazam app itself, either email or tweet the tag. Allow Headphones to either scrape an email for Soundhound and Shazam "shares" or do the same for a twitter account. Grab the data off of the post and import into Headphones. Possibly to guard against spammed posts (if somone got a flood of tweets), put the scrapes into a holding area to be accepted or tossed.

This would allow one to build their database of liked artists in Headphones while away from home in a more automated fashion.

Thanks!

+1 to this request. It would be great if I could just save emails to a local directory and Headphones would scan that local directory from time to time and add them to my wanted list, similar to how NZBGet scans a directory for NZBs and processes them.

This bash script will parse a directory and for all files saved with the .eml extension it will echo the album name - seems to work on SoundHound emails, at least those saved with Thunderbird: for file in *.eml; do awk "/I just found this song using SoundHound./,/Open in/ { print }" "$file" | grep -v "Open in" | tail -n 1; done

Changing the tail -n 1 to tail -n 3 gives the artist, which I imagine would help a lot :)

HTH and thanks for a great app!

@brijam It's not on the road map, but maybe you can write it when #1988 is finished.

+1 to this request ! Instead of looking at a mail directory, it could use directly MyShazam webapi where you can download the history of all your tags in html format. It could be a good ocassion for me to start learning python :)

[jayce996]

still interested in this :-)

[brijam]

Me too but it looks like #1988 got pulled off the roadmap. :(
