Sweet. Someone has gotten around to writing a Perl module to search the All Music Guide. Right now it seems to choke on album searches that return multiple results (I emailed the author) but otherwise seems to work pretty well. Lots of potential for those of us who want to get year and genre metadata done right...

Keep an eye on it. Right now the bug I mentioned keeps it from being useful for my scripts (without some *severe* hacking around it) but it's a great start.
