The logic and future of Music scrapers?
#16
Thanks @spiff

So currently both full NFO and online scaper produce similar xml, that gets loaded in CAlbum or CArtist (using a load method), and then merged into the existing db record depending on settings. But instead the Python based scrapers will popuate CArtist or CAlbum directly, I assume not switch to xml and convert back.

Is it OK if what we can scrape from NFO (have xml tags we interpret) and what we can scrape from online sources diverges?

Another question: where can I look to see what data the online sources could return. Do they have some kind of documented API?
