I've just done a quick check of the URL AR links and it appears there are 27 album URL AR links and 7 artist URL AR links into www.allmusic.com

It is my understanding that AMG don't allow deep linking[1] and linking into a competitor is also a little cheaky. Additionally, the wiki[2] also hints that linking to AMG isn't sensible for technical and legal reasons.

Questions:

1. Should we continue to allow AR's linking into AMG sites?
2. If 'no' to question 1, how can users be informed regarding this or should a check be put in to prevent those URL's from being entered.
