Winamp/Allmusic.com Partnership?

Master-of-Metal · 25th April 2004, 01:26

Teaming up with allmusic.com would add alot to the Media Library features (album info etc).

What do you reakon?

i reckon that the library probably already does this, and its just rebranded.

Plus a few other albums (that are international albums)

Unable to due to Gracenote licensing agreements.

ok, guess i was wrong. id's sure don't seem to be made using allmusic, though.

you're just confusing FreeDB and CDDB (which is Gracenote).

The info is Gracenote's not Allmusic's (they're seperate and have seperate databases).

Veej007 · 28th April 2004, 18:10

allmusic is much more professional and reliable than gracenote as far as i can tell

Yea by far, thats why i want to see something happen between winamp and allmusic.

I think how the allmusic.com site is set out now wont make it easy for a winamp->allmusic link, it would be a massive undertaking and overhauling.
