This is interesting! I'm a big user of discogs to tag my collection and 
as I couldn't find the necessary tools to tag precisely my collection I 
wrote foo_discogs, a plugin for foobar2000 (a customizable windows 
player that also works under wine). I'd love to have the same 
functionality under amarok, and if you're interested I can send you the 
source of the HTML release parser which is fairly complete and accurate.
I retrieve almost all info in release pages, all of these writable in 
user-defined ID3V2 2.4 tags or vorbis tag. The file format is 
transparent  for the plugin and I don't know if it would be easy to do 
with amarok.

I'm not here to promote my plugin, but if that can give you some ideas 
here's some screenshots:

On the screenshot you can see on the left different method to display my 
collection:

by label/release
by country/label
etc

If you want more info don't hesitate to contact me.
