A massive thank you... works like a charm.
BTW, have you tried the scraper called Yo-Yo musicbrainz? it SAYS it gets the scraping from Allmusic and LastFM... which sounds good to me, but now i have already started to redo my library with your script... but I am curious.
thanks,
Mark
PS I spent 15 minutes trying to find a folder called special!!!
for anyone else on windows, the place to look is program files/xbmc/addons/metadata.common.allmusic.com

1. Copy the raw script from the link below:
http://pastebin.com/sTRfsTpF
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
