Wow, changed the default scraper site to allmusic.com - and tataaaa it works!!!

The "problem" that I just noticed (and honestly, this was expectable...) is, that this overwrites the previous scraped TADB-Data wiht AllMusic Data. Just the same thing that happens when you press Info/F9 inside Mediaportal and update Artist/Album Information...

So IMHO at the moment the best way to get maximum & language specific Artist/Album Information is:

1. Deactivate FanartHandler TADB scraping (edit FanartHandler.xml)
2. Activate MusicInfoHandler (set AllMusic scraping) in Mediaportal configuration
3. Start Mediaportal
4. Run AllMusic Scrape with MusicInfoHandler
5. Wait till download complete (monitor MediaPortal.log)
6. Close Mediaportal
7. Activate FanartHandler TADB scraping (edit FanartHandler.xml)
8. Deactivate MusicInfoHandler plugin in Mediaportal configuration -
   OR dectivate the <Autostart> Option - if you want to use Allmusic scraper for manual scraping later...
9. Start Mediaportal
10. Wait (more ) till download complete (monitor FanartHandler.log)

Close MP and BACKUP MusicDatabase

If I remember correctly, during Full Scan, the PH checks the entire Artist list and if the information received from the AudiDB site differs from the information in the Database, it overwrites it.

if you want to use Allmusic scraper for manual scraping later...

Allmusic its internal MP scrapper, if you try manual update, MP get information from Allmusic and replace information in DB
