When movies are differences as already described here.
More visible difference is in the web pages of people.
For example:
Elvis Presley for AllRovi web page: http://www.allrovi.com/name/elvis-presley-mn0000180228
Elvis Presley for AllMovie web page: http://www.allmovie.com/artist/elvis-presley-p107032
There are many such cases as listed. Certain changes or differences are visible in the Info data for all the people, which are stored in the database.

My question pertained to data not visible differences, and movies not people. The Rovi site includes music data, but there doesn't appear to be any additional movie data—on movie or people pages.
Now what would be really useful is an AllMusic script for album information. The redesign of that site has hopelessly broken the script I was using (a mod of the original AllMovie script). I'm not looking forward to rewriting that. :'(

In the AllMusic new web pages are (data) information is really very bad arranged and some information are missing, given the fact, how the data were arranged by the AllMusic old web pages.

Script of each of these URLs, not deleted or overwritten, so they remain in the URLs box. They also in the URL field added to the new URLs, which script transferred from the AllMovie new web site.

The problem arises where the order URLs such is for example, is this one order of

(this url again now operate normally and move to a new AllMovie page)

http://web.archive.org/web/http://www.allmovie.com/work/casablanca-8482.

order of the URLs such that the script is looking for information through by WayBack Machine web archive url.
However, where the order of the URLs such an this

the script is looking for information by AllMovie new web site,

I don't understand. I use our AllRovi script to get data from http://www.allrovi.com/movies/movie/casablanca-v8482. I don't see any useful additional data at http://www.allmovie.com/movie/casablanca-v8482/. Rovi abandoned some data that was available on the old site. This data is still available via the Wayback Machine—if the pages were saved—at http://web.archive.org/web/http://www.allmovie.com/work/casablanca-8482. I only use that URL manually; I don't attempt to get the additional data with a script. Thankfully, in most cases, I already have it.
What is very odd is if http://www.allrovi.com/movies/movie/casablanca-v8482 is used manually, or as a link on an AllRovi page (e.g., search results), it's redirected to the new AllMovie page (i.e., both of the first two URL's above go to the same page). But our AllRovi script still works, apparently still accessing the AllRovi pages. I suppose that may only be temporary, and this script will become the only one that works. :-\
