I wish there was some kind of API out there that you could pass in Artist name and Album Name and get the album art. There doesn’t really seem to be a good solution to this. CDDB SDK is a joke, MusicBrainz isn’t much better. Some people say use Amazon.com API, but that is also sketchy - It wasn’t built for looking up , just products.

With all the services out there, you would think there would be an easier way to get this meta info on artists/albums/tracks.

I was thinking - I could just screen scrape MSN - oh but wait, they don’t have all artists, just ones they sell (Try searching for “The Beatles” - it comes up with cover songs because they don’t sell any Beatles tracks).

Maybe I just don’t know if what I am looking for is out there, but it would sure make it easier to develop applications around your library if there was.

Update: I decided to use the Amazon Web Service…It seems to work in the trials I am doing, we will see when I run over a library.
