I don't know if the problem is in the scraper or in internal Xbmc yet but in recent Gotham there's a problem with scraping album genres.
My collection is perfect tagged, during one of the recent build the strArtists was dropped (I think for musicBrainz) and Xbmc asked for a rescan for Art
(Maybe change this message box since this is needed for way more than just art).
When I accept the rescan Xbmc drop all my albums genre in strGenres and put the artists in it.
I join a screenshot of the database during the process.
You can see the dropped artists with correct genre, then during the rescan the artist field is populated and the genre is replaced with the artist.

if i'm correct you can artwork to fanart.tv for singles too. If it's not listed on the artist page use the release-group ID to add it.

possibly or add the less well known artists to musicbrainz/theaudiodb and add their information.
adding to musicbrainz allows you to upload artwork to fanart.tv (where a large portion of the artwork from theaudiodb comes from).

Keep in mind I tried first without any NFO, and found that only those few fields were populated.you need to add the release group, not the release if you want to force something via NFO. However, this will not help in this case, since MB doesn't hold the allmusic link.
I have tried the following URL in an NFO, and now no description or other fields are populated.
Code:http://musicbrainz.org/release/59cf548b-bd56-4f8e-a610-92e36274c58c
Any help is always appreciated. Thanks!

The reason the information is missing is because MusicBrainz does not have the allmusic link listed for that album under the "External Links" section? If so I need to create an account with MusicBrainz and add the links before scraping?Exactly, but add this on the release-group level instead of the release level.
