Too bad re-scraping is a such a pain. Is there any better way than to delete all sources, clean library, and then re-add and re-scan everything?
1. Copy the raw script from the link below:

2. Paste it into a text file with Wordpad or a text/XML editor of your choice.
3. Save the file to \\special\addons\metadata.common.allmusic.com\allmusic.xml
4. Click yes to overwrite the existing file.
If you need help locating your \\special directory see here

Voila! The scraper will pull the data again. Credit to a better Python coder than I
