NOTE: Installing git is not necessary and the needed program files can be downloaded from the site as a zip file. No need to clone the repo and add further overhead to the HDA.

Headphones is a SABnzbd Plus add-on that automates your music downloading. You can import all your favorite artists from iTunes, and keep an eye out for any new albums they might be releasing.

It can be configured to work with a few search providers, including NZBMatrix, NZBs.org and Newznab servers.

This guidance will instruct you how to get Headphones and add it to your HDA. Upon completion, you will have Headphones running, but not as a service since their is only a init.d script for Ubuntu users at this moment.
