[dba-Tech] Audio equivalent to AMC

I am an avid collector of DVD movies. The current count is about 1000. I
found a free utility called Ant Movie Catalog which has proved invaluable.
You type in either the title or the bar code number and then hit F6 and it
reaches out to the net (depending on your settings, it might go to IMDB or
DVDEmpire or whatever) and searches for said title, and upon success, grabs
all the relevant data: producer, director, stars, synopsis and even an
image of the DVD cover). As a result of this program, I have a printed
catalog of all my DVDs, and make them available for loan to my friends at
two local food banks. For want of a better term, I call this service
"Arthur's Lending Library". The rules are simple: you may request up to
five movies, which I write down and deliver the following week. You must
return them the next week, else you cannot borrow more. Upon delivery, I
write down a list of your borrows and you sign and date it. This service is
enormously appreciated, and with the occasional exception, usually
associated with the use of crack, fastidiously obeyed.

I digress. It also happens that I have a collection of LP records that
numbers into the thousands. I would love to find a program which performs
the audio equivalent of AMC: I would type in the name of the recording and
it would reach out to the net and return the list of tracks, the players,
and perhaps also an image of the album cover.

Do you know of such a program?
