Hello-
I cannot get the universal album scraper to scrape album reviews anymore. I prefer allmusic.com if possible, but when I go into settings for the album reviews, the options are only audioDB.com or none. How do I fix this so that I can get album reviews like I could previously? Thanks!

I may be wrong, but I think that option was removed from the Universal Album Scraper because unfortunately allmusic.com were not happy with us scraping reviews any more.
I will check the reason, but I don't think it is something that will change in the immediate future.

TADB carries album reviews which are user updateable. Again not sure about the scraper support.

I think since Allmusic was acquiered by Rovi, years ago, it doesn't allow scraping their data for free.
A pity, since I think they have the best info and genre categories.
