i have considered it but i do not feel comfortable scraping a site that provides open api's. that being said, anyone else is ofc free to do it

Is there any alternative to allmusic.com as scraper for music and how can I set it up?
My problem is that the allmusic.com website is blocked in China (and thats where I happen to live). Another scraper could solve my problem.
Thoughts? Many thanks!!!

Thanks for all your replies. Both last.fm and amazon.com work well also in China. Would be awesome if the world of XBMC would see on of these scrapers in the future!!!
Many thanks again and best regards!!!
