XBMC4Xbox

So I added music to my xbmc library and I set it to download additional information when updating, but it doesn't do it. I go to Artists and query all info and it does nothing. It scans but all artists are information-less and picture-less. Same goes for albums. If a push the "refresh" button, it goes into a never ending loop of p"enter the artist name/album name". Am I the only one with this problem?

allmusic scraper is broken, and even if fixed, there are copyright issues.

we would need to port across another music scraper from xbmc mainline like the universal scraper.

oh boo. Guess I'll have to use Last.FM

its on the bugtracker, so hopefully I can get around to doing something about it in the not to distant future.

How about getting the descriptions and album pics from Amazon.com? The "Editorial Reviews". It's way shorter than AllMusic's, but it's better than nothing. Note that this is merely a suggestion and am in no way trying to make you do anything.

It's a crying shame.
The Allmusic info was awesome.
I miss the reviews.
