Poorly at best. AllMusic is blocking scraping now - probably the best right now is LastFM.

last.fm album scraper is not working for me!! Do you any tool for making nfo (album info, review, label info, etc) for albums just like movies and tv shows have?

Try Media Companion.......not very polished but will get the job done for movies & TV shows.

I am talking about music albums. Tools to scrape albums other than the default scrapers

Same here.
I either get the scrapped information just fine, or when I press "info", info would just pop-out with "fetching info" which just dissapears as quickly as it appears. Seems like it's the problem with naming the album folders - I use "Artist - Album name", but it doesn't seem to be picking on that. Instead it seems like it's taking the information that's IN the folder (like a track name, etc). Is there a way to make it look it up specificly by folder's name?
Has anyone had similar issues? I've tried other scrappers, but I get similar results....

It's not really automated, but WMP does a decent enough job. On the albums that it fails on I use mp3tag (works with Flacs too). WMP gets at least enough to let XBMC's scrapers finish the job.
Note that AllMusic is currently prohibiting dloading of most data - the best one right now is LastFM.
Haven't found a better combo than the above to date.
