Interesting. Back when I implemented something similar for extGUI4LMS, I also had a look at AllMusic in comparison to discogs. In the end, I decided to use discogs as it has - more albums available - some info available AllMusic doesn't (eg. videos, artist links) - an officially free-to-use API to access the data (I'm still a bit confused by rovi's eval licence, but it seems not to cover free/oss SW - your plugin also uses screen-scraping and not rovi's API...)
otoh, AllMusic has some advantages as well - some info available discogs doesn't (eg. album reviews (actually available on the website, but doesn't seem to be exposed in the API), related artists/albums) - sometimes more in-depth/professional biographical information about artists - sometimes more in-depth/professional album reviews Why did you chose AllMusic?
