[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 934069, member: 11220"] Just had a look at the audio db and there are only 2,000 artists. All I checked just had the text from Wikipedia as the artist info. The gracenote license is restrictive (and also as there is advertising on the MP website we would need a commercial license apparently) My experience of discogs is pretty poor too and the data quality seems a bit crap. All not ideal.... Last.fm data actually seems pretty good, has an api and is (sometimes) there is different languages. Amg is good but getting data us a pain (no api) and breaks quite often. Not sure if the best plan here. One thing I will be investigating is musicbrainz. It has an api and usefully links to most sites of interest.
