automate "Member of"
(I'm sure this idea is easier said than done.) An individual artist's Member of field can be automatically populated by group names whose album credits that individual artist as a group member.

AllMusic's 2026 Five-Star Album Update
Visiting your website recently has led to some unexpected surprises for us regular users. For anyone here who hasn't noticed yet, over one-hundred albums from AllMusic's database were re-rated in the last week and I'd say that the majority of them were worthy call-ups.
The update did bring about some ideas that I'd like to ask your editorial team about:
- After a previous update like this one, I asked your editors if there were releases in those freshly updated discographies that were also worthy of a new four-and-a-half star rating where there no longer any. They kindly responded to that

Remembering Chuck Negron
I found out today that Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night has passed away. I just thought it would be nice if you could post something in his honor on your main page. Thank you.

Boris & Squarepusher Review Requests
Happy New Year to the team at AllMusic!
Given that we're now at that time of the year where hardly any new releases, I was wondering if your writers would be willing to respond to a request to fill in some of the blank spaces on your website.
With it having been the album's 25th Anniversary last year, it would be great to finally get a review for Flood by Boris - a monumental album, generally considered by fans to be on par with the likes of Feedbacker and Pink.
Another discography currently with some empty spots is Squarepusher's. Both the playful Hello Everything

Please add Pandora as a preferred music streaming service on AllMusic.
Thanks.

Please add YouTube Music, Tidal and Bandcamp as streaming services
Not all of us use Spotify, Amazon and Apple for streaming. YouTube Music is great for allowing the user to 'fill gaps' in their music libraries by uploading tracks, Bandcamp are by far the best financial supporters of musicians, and Tidal are well-regarded for their sound quality. Please consider adding all three to the list of streaming services that we use.

All of the mysterious titles of CD Baby origin on AllMusic
all of the non-UPC releases from cdbaby.com, you should show their provenance. In fact, you are PROBABLY the last other people with a physical cache of the medium and music to this extent.
The beauty of the non-UPC releases is that there would be minimal legal issue if you set up an archive of it on archive.org. Granted, there will be a few stakeholders here and there that have probably created digital rights in the meantime. But most of them have simply moved on. They'd suck if they opposed such a wonderful archive anyhow. I'll throw some pennies at them

linking external reviews
Since you "don't have the staffing or bandwidth to implement other data sources at this time", how about letting users to link reviews from professional critics? Because Xperi has downsized its editorial staff, you've allowed users to write user reviews. But most users aren't as eloquent and as knowledgeable as professional critics, so many user reviews aren't professional quality. Moreover, user reviews are more likely to be motivated by favortism or by personal hate.
By linking to external reviews from professional critics, Allmusic would still be the one-stop website for users to find professional reviews despite fewer being penned by

"Ride the Cliché" or... Just a Mystery?
Hello AllMusicians,
Yesterday I went to the vinyl store to check the naivety of the phonorecord industry - or worse - of the consumer.
Have you guys noticed that "Tate McRae" album just coincides with... Deftones latest ?
Or is it the same woman ???
Please help me out to uncover this mystery!

enable multiple selections for credits at album-level
On an album page, I'm hoping that it's easy to enable multiple selections for credited roles (like the credits section on an artist page). Doing so would be especially helpful for credits of multi-disc albums.

outsourcing data-entry
Not only are there missing albums, but Xperi's data is also becoming more and more incomplete for albums that its editors aren't reviewing. For many of these albums, Xperi has decided to skip data-entry of track listings or credits or composers. If Xperi is earning more from its customers, the customers are getting less data in return.
I think that Xperi would be happy to reduce its workload for data-entry to only albums that its editors are reviewing. By reducing its workload this way, Xperi would cut its operating costs. I also think that Xperi would be willing to pay

expand user base
In order to survive, Allmusic needs to expand its user base. Doing so will add more subscribers, at the risk of pandering to commercialism, minimizing indie artists and feeding into the marketing cycle. If social media pop can become viral, then Allmusic should jump on the TikTok bandwagon.

An export feature would be nice
An export feature would be nice in case your site ever goes down and I lose all my data like I did the last time your site went through a reorganization.

make credits page more useful
Garth Hudson was so talented and musically brilliant on a variety of instruments. I'm revisiting his credits playing on other artists' sessions. Since there's no advanced credits search (which would be a better idea than this one), below are some ideas to make the credits page more useful.
- Allow filter to exclude composer as credited role.
- Add filter for main albums and EPs.
- Show editor ratings.
- Show icon if editor reviewed album.
