Is there any way to avoid the gibberish in the bio when scraping an artist?
thanks for your time and effort
Hi, this needs to be fixed by me. What scraper did you use? :-)

Thanks. This issue happens with discogs.
I have since updated to 2.8.12 and using Musicbrainz mostly fixes the issue.
There are only two minor "issues" I'm left with.
* the character "&" doesn't pull properly and is replaced with "&"
* The program also adds leading lines before the biography.
From my testing of about 15 artists, the gap can range between 2 and 9 lines. I couldn't find any rhyme or reason that caused the difference.
I assume Musicbrainz, The Audio DB and AllMusic are pulling from the same source? I am getting the same error from all three.
Like i said, these are minor issues and wouldn't expect them to be high priority since i can (mostly) manually fix them.
Thanks again
