would it be possible to create a metadata agent that retrieves music data from this website?
www.rateyourmusic.com
example album:
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stereolab/transient_random_noise_bursts_with_announcements/
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the_beatles/revolver/
example artists:
http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/stereolab
http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/the_beatles
it seems that it’d be possible, at the way the page is built.
it would be exciting, especially if one could implement the “best of 1999” or “overall #11” kind of ratings.
the database there is way more extensive and complete than on either allmusic or last.fm.
cheers!

I can walk you through it if you’d like.
right now i dont have the time for it, but i have all of february free. do you think that from the style of the website it would seem possible at all? i find the website way more tidy than last.fm and more complete than allmusic. so that’s why i think we should need an agent for it, even though it’s not a really known website.
thanks for listening
ps. i can be in chat for a lil bit to talk about it, but i don’t wanna try “writing” (not tonight). you should also know that i have no experience at all writing metadata agents or python in general. however, i “get” it quite fast when it comes to computers.
