Is there a web site to access things such as lyrics, discographies, playlists, etc.?
YES! The Demented Music Database is available at http://dmdb.org/ to satisfy your craving for demented information. The mail server is no longer available. From March, 1993 until December, 2006, it was around to send files via e-mail, but since nearly everyone preferred getting files via the web by 2006 (or, actually, long before that), it was retired. The most useful remaining feature was bulk retrieval of playlists, and that is also now available on the web. The FTP server is also no longer available (and has been gone since the mid-1990s).
