https://github.com/sahib/glyr
It comes both in a commandline interface tool and as a C library, both with an easy to use interface. The sort of metadata glyr is searching (and downloading) is usually the data you see in your musicplayer. And indeed, originally it was written to serve as internally library for a musicplayer, but has been extended to work as a standalone program which is able to download:
cover - Coverart (front images supported only)
lyrics -Songtext
artistphotos - Photos of a certain band (press or live)
artistbio - Artist biography from various sites
review - album reviews from various sites
albumlist - A list of albums from a specific artist.
tags - Tags, either related to artist, album or title
relations - links to wikipedia, myspace, musicbrainz ...
similarartists - similar artists
similarsongs - similar songs
tracklist - tracklists of an album
guitartabs - guitartabs in textual form
backdrops - Large artist photos, suitable for backgrounds
Compiled in racy 5.5
