  Yes. Lots of info out there. You can use our API at Grooveshark available here: http://tinysong.com/api http://tinysong.com/api You can also bulk download Discogs here: http://www.discogs.com/data/ http://www.discogs.com/data/ And MusicBrainz has one here: http://musicbrainz.org/ http://musicbrainz.org/ You can also bulk download wikipedia, cross reference page titles with a set of artist names, and grab whatever information you want if your Regex skills are magical. A general word of caution: User-sourced music information is very very messy. Be prepared for a lot of mispellings, bad metadata, missing information, etc.
