How to access album cover database?

[Baron Samedi]

hi,

I would like to write (preferably, borrow) some PHP which takes an
album name and looks it up in an on-line database, displays the albums
cover, maybe when clicked on leads to some track listings, lyrics, or
whatever.

Any hints?

Thanks inadvance.

For lyrics, you could just add your variable to the query URL of some
lyrics site (be careful though, many of these have spyware popups), ie:

$artist = "eric clapton";
echo "$artist lyrics: click here: <a
href="http://search.azlyrics .com/cgi-bin/azseek.cgi?q=$a rtist">lyrics</a>";

Similar kinda thing for say, Amazon.com which will have most album
details. There are scripts out there that can lookup images from
Amazon's index using queries, google around for those.
