artist links

since we can't use allmusic's site (at least not by default), could there be an addition to the quicklinks file that allows for different types of searches to be done?

for example, at CD Universe you have to select from a checkbox what type of search you want to perform (Artist, Song, CD, etc).

maybe do something like,

[Artist]
URL=http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?style=music&altsearch=yes&HT_Search_Info=#artist#&HT_Search=ARTIST
[CD]
URL=http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?style=music&altsearch=yes&HT_Search_Info=#album#&HT_Search=TITLE
[Song]
URL=http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?style=music&altsearch=yes&HT_Search_Info=#title#&HT_Search=SONG

in the program, the info links call to which ever one was selected and apply that to what is wanted by the user instead of only one option.

eJukebox currently (v3.71) only supports Links with the names: [Artist], [Album], [Lyrics], and [Posters]. Which correspond to the 4 links on the right-click info links menu.

For the next version of eJukebox, after v3.71 you will be able to create your own link names [?????] beyond the current 4 on the right-click info links menu.

Note: You can use #artist# #album# and #title# in the URL of ANY of those 4 links.

For now you could use:
[Artist]
URL=http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?style=music&altsearch=yes&HT_Search_Info=#artist#&HT_Search=ARTIST
[Album]
URL=http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?style=music&altsearch=yes&HT_Search_Info=#album#&HT_Search=TITLE
[Posters]
URL=http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?style=music&altsearch=yes&HT_Search_Info=#title#&HT_Search=SONG
