The only solution to this, for AMG, would be for LMS / MAI to have the
ability to use an AMG ID for these entities.  Then, you'd be able to tag
your files appropriately with the correct IDs for Album, Artist,
Composer, etc.  MAI could skip the search portion, and instead directly
grab the appropriate URL.  The override would enable users to quickly
correct false hits by MAI.  

This is how my MCUtils tools work.


Code:
--------------------
    
  $ amg -VV --inc '/id$/'
  *** 2.6:
  filename: /Users/MrC/Desktop/Temp/MCUtils_TestFiles/7231537/2.6.mp3
  albumartistid: <__CLEAR__>
  amgartistid: mn0000346336
  amgid: mw0000195292
  amgmid: mw0000195292
  amgrid:
  composerid: mn0000582930
  tid: mt0042077674
  workid:
  
  
--------------------


But I think this would require additional work on LMS.
