Yep. Basically, we're running a student 'radio' station (online,
mainly
music, multiple streams), most of which will be playlisted. At the
moment I'm cobbling together a script to let folk upload .ogg files to
the database. It presents them with a form containing all the tag's off
the file, and a few other details we need (including the publisher) for
them to confirm / edit before it's stored.
The publisher details are required for our returns to the music
licensing people (who will no doubt double check everything!)
So it would be nice for the script to at least _guess_ at which label
the track was licensed by.

vendor. I use a (no longer available) MP3 tagger called "MP3 Internet
Renamer". It would go out and request a web page from the "All Music
Guide" ( http://www.allmusic.com/ ).
Sounds good. My skills aren't up to it, but there is only one way to
learn...

is no longer available (and was closed source anyways) so you'll need to
write your own regular expressions/parser, but this is very doable using a
lightweight web browser such as "links" (or lynx, w3m, etc).
wonder if I could do it using libwww-perl?

the data.
I'll give it a shot! I guess it's just a case of taking a close look at
the html results from a bunch of queries, and working out a strategy for
extracting the right info.
Thanks for the link! I'll let you know how I get on...
