Am I the only one having problems accessing the site? It is very choppy and stops loading, fails to contact servers, etc...very frustrating. Been like this for a couple weeks.

it's always been real spotty for me. they're lucky they have such a comprehensive database of everything ever.

Same here Poof.

I thought it was just my comp [since its f'd over], but I guess not.

As MrJ said - its lucky they have such an informative site or I woulda given up a long time ago.

hey...try out an app called ccleaner to help out your pc. do some research on it and then use it if you please. it may speed it up, etc.

I've always had some issues with Allmusic as well. Not sure why. It seems to take pages an extra couple of seconds to load.

it's a crap site. they used to have all of the information in one, easy to read page for each artist. but i'm guessing other sites were starting to write scripts to pull data from allmusic, so they changed it up.

the site is redonkulously slow for me most of the time. i've mostly stopped using it. i get most of my info from last.fm these days.

Yeah, I've had the same problems. I think Slam is right about other sites pulling off of it. I know insound.com does and I think some of the winamp apps do as well.
