    Linking to an artist page on allmusic.com using just the artist name

    Bob Schermerhorn · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    I am writing from interpunk.com.

    Is there a way to link to the primary artist page on allmusic.com with a link that involves just the artist name?

    For example, let's say I want to link to the Teenage Bottlerocket page. It would be great if I could use this link [with spaces in the artist name replaced with dashes '-']:

    https://www.allmusic.com/artist/teenage-bottlerocket

    …but instead of displaying an error page like it does currently, it would be ideal if it would automatically correct the URL of the actual Teenage Bottlerocket page on allmusic.com, which is:

    https://www.allmusic.com/artist/teenage-bottlerocket-mn0000666623

    Thank you in advanced for creating

    Wow what happened to the website? Yesterday about 2pm est.

    Mark Green · 14 · Last reply by Mark Green

    Takes forever to load pages and look up artists.   The discography?  Forget about it.  Nothing. Did you have some servers go down or what? 

    Today same problems.   Takes forever to search or load sometimes giving back empty pages.

    Client IP blocked

    Hi, for about a week now, when I navigate to allmusic.com, I see the normal layout of allmusic but full of this message:

    Error: Forbidden

    Your client does not have permission to get URL /home/homepageAjax/2 from this server.

    Error: Forbidden

    Your client does not have permission to get URL /home/homepageAjax/3 from this server.

     ...

    etc. If I click on any of the links, I get for example:

    Error: Forbidden

    Your client does not have permission to get URL /album/rodrigo-y-gabriela-mw0000552855 from this server.

    Looks like my IP got auto-banned for some reason, it is bizarre. I have no issues with any

    There is a CD I have found a looked up. this is the only site on the WWW that lists it. This site claims it can be streamed on Amazon Unlimited and Spotify. I have both and neither stream it. Neither can actually play it despite the fact that this site says it can.

    Pop Up Ads

    Andrew · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Hello AllMusic,

    I've been using your website for years, decades even?

    At this point, the screen is covered with so many pop-up ads, it's nearly impossible to read anything on your website.  This is with an ad blocker on.  I'm simply attempting to read a review, and the bombardment of ads in my face makes it unusable.

    Send me a note if you guys are going to attempt to change this, otherwise I'm done.

    One Last Album Review Request for the Year

    Matski · 4 · Last reply by Matski

    With only a few weeks to go before AllMusic likely releases their article regarding their favourite albums of the year, I've gathered another small list of forgotten pretenders to put forward, with consideration for a last minute review. Though the previous request didn't find any takers (feel free to check them out too) hopefully this one has a few names that will gain interest. All the albums suggested reviewed well elsewhere, gained a healthy number of user ratings and have even received at least a couple of user reviews:

    • Allison Russell - The Returner
    • Model/Actriz - Dogsbody
    • Róisín Murphy -

    Hover over album name in New Releases no longer works after update

    Jason Bodnar · 1 · Last reply by Jason Bodnar

    Prior to your new design update a few weeks ago you could hover over an album name in the New Releases list to get some basic info about the album, namely the release date which is useful for determining if this is a new release or a reissue. This no longer works after the design update. Please bring this feature back.

    Music submissions via Xperi incomplete or with missing credits.

    Edward Vinatea · 0 · Posted

    It has become apparent that AllMusic is either not listing all the information entered in the excel file submitted to Xperi, or is being added to AllMusic incomplete. Specifically, all people's music credits!

    Seriously, you need to switch gears, up your game and pay attention to whom you delegate the critical task of cataloging and archiving the music online!

    That is, if these omissions aren't coming from the people on XPERI.

    Pop Up ads out of control

    Jroither · 0 · Posted

    I love Allmusic and have used it for years. But lately  the pop up ads for McDonalds are completely out of control and excessive. They pop up every 5 seconds (no exaggeration). They are making your site absolutely unusable. Can you please get them under control?

    Album Highlights - Forced Gallery View

    CMart · 2 · Last reply by CMart

    My dearest friends, we have lost an absolutely critical feature. In any album overview section, we are now forced to use the gallery-grid view. This is frustrating switch because we can no longer see the year of the album or the allmusic rating. We now have to manually click each one? I've been using AMG since the early 2000's and changes like this make it seem less like a true database. We used to have the option to use Gallery View or List View. Please bring that back.

    Could you please put ratings back on "Similar Albums" page?

    Your new interface no longer shows ratings when clicking on "Similar Albums."  I would appreciate if ratings were put back on.  Thank You.

    once a fantastic site has become unusable, Would have considered a membership if had any confidence the site was actively managed.

    Jayson Frith · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Once a fantastic site for music is now unusable, pages won't load, uncontrollable intrusive loud ads. Paid for a membership a couple years back, never saw much difference. Would pay the $12 for functionality if had any confidence the site was being actively managed. There are plenty of new rock albums not even listed or reviewed.

    Why is the band Orgy erased from Allmusic

    Joe Boli · 2 · Last reply by Joe Boli

    You cant find them under an Orgy search, blue monday search, jay gordon search, and Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh only come up with their band Julien-K and no mention of Orgy in the former band section. Kinda odd.

    If you read the last paragraph of Norman Granz on the album it clearly states that I, (ray parker jr) am playing guitar on this album even though its not in the credits which is a mistake! Could you please correct this? thx, Ray

    No cover art on Allmusic.

    Palle Drost · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Hi guys 

    I still don't see cover art and pictures on Allmusic. The problem has been addressed many times, but nothing seems to be happening. I left the debate, when it became incredibly nerdy, and I was unable to follow and understand. I simply expect to be able to see cover art and pictures on Allmusic. I use Allmusic every day in my record store and privately. 

    Please see the attached screen dump

    Regards

    allmusic.com Logo AllMusic would like to send you notifications about albums and artists you might be interested in. (these can be turned off anytime from browser settings)

    Chris Kent · 4 · Last reply by Chris Kent

    I've subscribed here for many years, to lend support and and so I avoid ads. Lately every time I use the site I get a pop-up with:

    "AllMusic would like to send you notifications about albums and artists you might be interested in. (these can be turned off anytime from browser settings)" Followed by two options, dismiss or allow. I do not want to see this pestering request, and I do not want to have to dismiss it every time I use the site. If I wanted push notifications I'd look to opt in, and having dismissed the thing at
