Is there any way to query allmusic, musicbrainz, or any other online catalog to identify if I don't have a specific album for each artist in my MC library?
i.e. I have all album releases from a specific artist.  artist released a new album last month that I don't have yet.  I'd like some way to identify that I need to consider purchasing that album that I don't have in my library currently.

Interesting....

I think Discogs has an open API that could enable such things

This would be a great thing to add ...
Just a hint

On many artists I would get a FLOOOOD of albums with such a function hehe. Browsing AMG or Discogs you realize how big many older artist's back catalogs are.


But I like services where I enter a list of artists and they ping me when there are new releases out. Spotify does it.

I agree that it should be a user configurable list of artists to search for.

The buttons with the current artist as a target when going to a bunch of different web sites is a very nice and effective (but still manual) helper:

That's what I use now, though it's usually when I'm playing an artist and realize the newest album I have is 2 years old.  Do they have anything new out?  Click on that link and get a quick look at their discography.

Looking for a script or plugin that I can run every once in a while that will do a comparison of their main album releases.  Don't want to see singles, live albums, or greatest hits.
