Purpose

This template provides a convenient way to produce an external link to an entry at allmusic (www.allmusic.com). The template can be used for any link to allmusic site, including External Links section or when citing.

Usage

|id=
|label=
|accessdate=
}}

id mandatory Identifikation of information. Corresponds to part of URL following "artist/", "album/", "song/", "work/" or "explore/". The text before the actual id with name of artist, album etc. can be omitted. (Example: For www.allmusic.com/artist/led-zeppelin-p4739 "p4739" is sufficient for id).
label optional Label to display the link, which defaults to the name of the article where this template is used.
