Is there a way to use last.fm agent for Artists and Personal Media Artists for Albums?

I've noticed that the last.fm scanner frequently messes up album info (track times, titles, etc), but usually manages to retrieve useful artist information.

 

Seeing as there's no way to fix last.fm, is there a way to configure/hack Plex to use the last.fm agent for Artist information while using the Personal Media Artists agent for the Album info?

 

At the moment, it seems you can only select one agent and have it do both tasks...

 

I found an old Plex Musicbrainz agent, but I couldn't get it to do anything useful.  :unsure:

 

I had a look at how XBMC does it, and it uses separate agents for Album info and Artist info. Also, they have super "Universal Scrapers" that pull really good info from a variety of sources (i.e. Musicbrainz and Discogs, rather than the mess that is last.fm).

 

Is anything like this in the works?

 

If not, I'll have a bit of a dig around in the scripts and see if I can combine the behaviour of the two Plex scanners into something useful...

Any news on this…? Same situation - last.fm breaks album structure and metadata, but the artist info and images would be nice.
