MediaElch - MediaManager for Mac/Linux/Win (with music library scraping)

You can manually look up the information on the supported sites, e.g.
http://www.allmusic.com/search/all/Allman%20Brothers
https://fanart.tv/?sect=all&s=Allman+Brothers
http://www.theaudiodb.com/browse.php

There seem to exist fanarts, artist pictures and a description of the band, but I just encountered information for three albums.
That means, you will have to add the information for the existing approx. 20 studio albums manually to MediaElch. For example, I am always adding information from wikipedia, if available.

The whole procedure, editing MP3-Tags and creating the nfo-Files takes me 1 or better say 2 hours for the whole diskography from one artist !
Just to get an impression of the "workload" ;-) If you're a native english speaker you may reduce the time amount, because most of the information is already available in english at the cited sites. If your mother tongue is another one (as in my case), you're searching the internet for hours to get usuable information.

After spending some time with it, I'm inclined to think that it's integration with the Universal Music Scraper is bug ridden. I don't believe the UMS has no artist entry for Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and a host of other well known artists. In addition I have to search multiple times (keep hitting return in the search window) until it actually returns data. So, the music library features are useful but seem to need a lot of work.
