[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1281254, member: 109222"] Hi. As the music database is an ordinary SQLite DB (at least it was last time I've used MP1 long, long ago) it sure would be possible. But I don't see much sense in adding this to Media-Buddy. It would be much, much better to add a general ".nfo scrapper" to the music plugin (similar to the .nfo support in MyVideos and MovingPictures) so one can use the same metadata as Kodi, MP2,... This can be a "stand alone" tool or an addon for the music plugin. But better not as a module inside Media-Buddy as Media-Buddy is no MP- Addon but a helpful tool for every HTPC user, no matter which system (s)he is using. Those .nfo are "standardized" widely and they can be generated with Media-Buddy and other tools right now. Something similar would help TVSeries too to overcome the upcoming paywall for TVDB... Yes, it is able to do so. You can add your own API key to Media-Buddy or you can live with the limitations of the demo API key you can find on the TheAudioDB website... I think it could be possible to get a free not limited API key for the MediaPortal project, Especially if asked by some "Officials". Then MP should be transferred to mainly use TheAudioDB as music data source. Also TADB is not as filed as Musicbrainz it is rapidly growing and is easy to handle (opposite to Musicbrainz or Discogs).
