it works a treat. One thing to note, there is no directory called 'Special' and that can be confusing as I was looking for it.
I had to put the file in the program directory rather than the user directory. I had to delete the database and re scan which worked fantastically.
thanks DDDamian

thanks for explaining that DDDamian, it makes sense as it is multi-platform. so in my case, on windows 7, to get it working it was Special://xbmc rather than Special://Home

Hey thank you for this first of all. So im getting album info but not artist info. I have both correct versions of allmusic installed. 07 and 01. I put the xml file in both locations. Ive tried aeon2, 3, nox, nox svn, and back row. I also cleaned the library and rescraped it and that didnt work so i removed the source and files and readded the source and completly redid my whole music library and that hasnt worked. When I enter music and click on album, then click "C", then click album info, all works as it should. I get album info, review, genre, rating, mood, etc. but when I enter music, click on artist, then click "C", then click artist info, a box pops up in the left hand corner(currently in back row, but it does basically the same no matter which skin im in) and reads, "searching artist 100%" like it has searched and found the info(but hasnt). It also lists the artist or band umderneath that. Besides that box, a main box in the middle asks for me to enter the artist name, and has the alphabet and what not listed. It already has the artist name listed and if it is spelled right i clck "done". The alphabet box automatically goes off the screen and immediately returns asking the same thing, to enter the artist name. The box in the left corner remains stating the search is at 100%. It does this every time in every situation. Ive tried it with numerous famous and popular artists and bands that are on the allmusic.com site. Any ideas?

I have a question, I updated my xml file with the new code, removed my music source, cleaned the library and re-added it. Only random albums have info, and ones I know use to when I was using Dharma don't. When I try to manually refresh those albums nothing happens. My Music's definitely tagged correctly. These same albums were good in 10.1 but when I went to Eden and re-added I got the copywrite info. It's partially working because some albums are coming up with the info. I'm confused why others aren't. I looked 5 up on allmusic.com and they were there. I also double checked my id3 tags. Everything was straight.
Ideas? I'm lost here...
I'm running Eden Beta 3
I rebooted, removed my music source, cleaned library and re-added 5 albums, when I try to manually scrape any of them, it pops up instantly asking for the artist then album name. No matter what I type in here it keeps going from 1 to the other. I double checked my XML's by copying the code from here and put it in my userdir & the xbmc program location, both are right.
*EDIT* n/m I installed the Eden RC1 that came out today and re-copied the XML's back and it's working now for the albums it wouldn't scape before, weird but whatever.

Hi ,
When I do an "Update library" the script only scrapes data for artists and albums which were newly added to the library. It does not update the artist and album information which have been added to the library before changing the allmusic.xml file and which have this Allmusic copyright issue message. A "manually" refresh for each artist separately does do the trick, but that's annoying.
Any idea how to update the library in one scratch other than deleting and rebuilding it from scratch ?
Cheers
Phyrros
