Finally had some time to do some more testing and thinking about music scraping. Thanks for your patience @ronie 
I'll report any item specific issues or errors on the test thread and/or Git, and save discussion of overall approach for here.
"None" as a prefered source
I completely agree that we don't want to select the preferences for data sources at too granular a level, and that was not what I had in mind when I asked for a way to "avoid certain data and/or from selected sites". But experience confirms that a bit more than what the Integral Album and Artist scrapers currently offer (v.002) would be very useful.
It is the data selection level offered by the XML scrapers and I thnk users would miss it.

The user could then select that to avoid retrieving each of artist discography, genres, styles or moods, and album genres, styles, moods, themes or ratings. I particularly want to skip fetching discographies for classical artists, and with albums mostly want just art not the style/mood clutter.
