a) User submits an album of his choice and would be able to see immediate results - and differences - when cycling through the various service providers
b) Alternatively, the scraper shows the differences in settings for one or more predefined, well-known albums of a certain genre.
Would I would like to see achieved is that end-users immediately see that same service tag e.g. genre as Rock-Pop and other services offer much more fine grained results. The same would be true for other tags, the detail of biography, list of album releases and so on.
An example preview would be the way to go, if at all programatically possible.

The user could then select that to avoid retrieving each of artist discography, genres, styles or moods, and album genres, styles, moods, themes or ratings. I particularly want to skip fetching discographies for classical artists, and with albums mostly want just art not the style/mood clutter.
