An older version of AS had this, but it was very API intensive to make sure you had the correct artist (each check took somewhere around 10 - 15 API calls and often 30 seconds or more). I dropped it because it was putting too much load on the musicbrainz servers. The big problem is that musicbrianz returns a list of artists that are even just close to the name you use, so you have to double check by album and/or song playing. I found about half the time the first artist in the list wasn't the artist I wanted.
