"Cannot allocate memory" during chromaprint fingerprinting

[linkdaniel]

Hi,

In the middle of fingerprinting ~1,700 songs, I got the following error. I had run "sudo -H pip install -U audioread" before, so the package should have been up to date.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/beet", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('beets==1.3.8', 'console_scripts', 'beet')()

Thanks! We should probably catch OSError in that check.

Oh, also: can you please include details about your system setup (OS, Python version, etc.)?

I have the same problem:
