All XBMC scrapers officially supported (even if the workarounds are for setting buffers are a bit painful)

One slight problem that i haven't been able to work out yet with the AllMusic scraper is the fact that though it finds and sets the links properly for the biography and discography of Artist, when the page downloads its the generic front page for artist search with no Artist Info at all.

copying and pasting the link in firefox has the same results (though the scraper doesn't set it as post, and even in the page its not sent as post) clicking on the same link in the Artist's Page will call the proper page, this one is so far beyond me but i'm still working on it.

another problem(that i have implemented a temp fix for is the fact that some results yeild an "&" inside the returned values and therefore are unparseable with a validating XML parser such as the XMLDOM and Linq, so far just doing a search and replace for the ampersan before parsing the string values to XML, which i consider a really nasty workaround, as i could possibly screw up other entities(a situation that i haven't run into yet - since i only use this workaround when parsing URLs for download).

My actual parasing functions for the scrapers are pretty solid, however, i think the reasoning for having to implement these nasty workarounds are some incorrectly implemented or missing utility functions that XBMC uses, so i'm going to spend the weekend brushing up on c++ and see if i can't follow the flow of XBMC's scraper process (maybe even run ith through the debugger, and step through process by process until i figure out exactley where my utility codes differ from xbmc.

Not exactley happy with this really as its got some really nasty coding in it that i couldn't avoid til i figure out a better way, thought i'd throw it up to see if anyone else (though noone else seems interested in helping with this project) could help to figure it out.
