For old system all works fine.

Example:
http://www.discogs.com/release/1249894?f=xml&api_key=API_KEY

but for new with Artis-Title in url:

http://www.discogs.com/Schiller-Sehnsucht-Deluxe-Edition/release/1249894?f=xml&api_key=API_KEY

I have 404 error.

Is this bug or works as intended?

I also stumbled over this hiccup.
My solution: parse the release ID from the URI and create an old-style URI myself.

It's a shame that the URI returned for an Xml request doesn't support an Xml request itself...

Do you mean how to parse XML with PHP in general?

You could easily parse it via simplexml_load_file([URI]);. But make sure to implement some fallbacks because this function propably throws warnings if the file isn't valid.

see http://www.php.net/simplexml_load_file

a last time and id wouldn't work.
i looked to some sites of google results.
yet i've tried it as you wrote me 1:1.

$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://www.discogs.com/release/183964?f=xml&api_key=' );

print_r($xml);

Hum...

what kind of error/result do you get if you try this code:

$result = file_get_contents('http://www.discogs.com/release/183964?f=xml&api_key=[API_KEY]' );

print_r($result);

Just ran into the same problem. No word on it being a bug and whether it will be fixed yet?
