Please register on MB and add the allmusic link instead. This way others will benefit as well. AMG link is on release group level, not on release level, so only need to be added once, not for all the zillion releases.
If I were you, I would only add the link to album.nfo, instead of the full and making sure the sites to scrape from have the information I want (except AMG as you have no control over there).
There is no AMG API, the scraper scrapes the website.

I could actually add an option to scrape the AMG user rating instead of the "official". Question is how much this AMG thing is actually futureproof. I (and I think we all) much more prefer, community driven, open databases.
However, for ratings it's always "tricky" as those popular websites both for video and music have much much more voter than the open databases.

hey zag, cannot follow. Those ratings would be _where_ forever? What do you mean?
btw, I just looked at allmusic to see how quickly I could add option to scrape user ratings, but actually this is not scrapeable at all. They don't have the user rating in the page source, so it's not something the scraper addon can deal with.
Not sure if actually you can grab them?! Can you check?
