Breaking an Encryption
I'm writing a program that interfaces with http://www.allmusic.com.
I am trying to find a way to break the encryption on their SQLIDs. Here is a typical URL to an album on their site:
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg...0:olsqoayaiijn
... The part worth noting is everything after the colon: "olsqoayaiijn". This can be up to 35 different random combination of letters, and will still take you to the same album. Refresh this discography page a few times and watch how the URLs to the albums change each time: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg...lozefbkhgf8~T2
On that album page, they list their "AMG Album ID" which is "P 26810".
It seems logical to assume that "26810" can be encrypted to make "olsqoayaiijn" along with these other combinations:

It's always possible that there is no encryption going on here and a block of random numbers/letters is assigned to each new album, but I am hoping that is not the case.
Does anyone have any ideas on ways I could figure out how to encrypt/decrypt one of those?
[EDIT] - If someone wants to try to break the encryption on their own, I have plenty of files of data of different encrypted forms of ID numbers.
