I need someone to manually lookup 5163 bands in the Amazon database to find the ASIN number of the CDs for each band. There might be several ASIN numbers if the band has several CDs at Amazon. To save time, I would suggest using Amazon's web services API to find ASIN numbers by looking for exact matches.
Any band that is not an exact match will require a manual search in Amazon, because not all the band names will be the same as they are in Amazon. If you use the API to handle the matches that are not exact, you will have mistakes. In fact, some band names will not even exist in the Amazon database.
Here is an example of the input file you will receive:
11 Fingered Charlie
110 in the Shade
12 Bar Junkies
127 Fascination
12th House
18 Wheeler
2 Skinnee J's
2 tons of steel
21Down
25 dollor massacre
25 LPs
290 West
