Bug Description

We would like to be able to search the http://www.discogs.com/ database for LP metadata.

There are a couple of things we are excited about w/ discogs
1) Over 2 million titles
2) Easily searchable by catalog # (our preferred method)
    For example: searching for catalog # 7e1002 returns this result: http://www.discogs.com/search?q=7e1002&type=catno&btn=Search
    Discogs also seems more forgiving with regard to spacing and dashes

Our # records loaded / hour ratio is very low right now. Mostly due to ineffective searches on biblios + LOC (WorldCat is a lot better but generally discouraged)
