#MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public. A open source, ethical and open data project by @metabrainz.
Another very cool third-party project using MB data: A self-hosted MusicBrainz collection and series browser with advanced filtering, streaming integration, and modern design.

And open source!

🆕 blog! “Are there any open APIs left?”

Been editing a lot of jazz albums on Musicbrainz, and this might be the most stacked artist credits on one release I'll ever see. Check out those cameos lol

20 years ago... we announced the first commercial project built with MusicBrainz data!

Sadly Música Linkara has been taken by time, but since 2006 we have had countless commercial supporters - allowing our servers to keep serving open data to the world.

#MusicBrainzServerUpdate, 2026-01-19

Small improvements, fixes and URL handling improvements! And we found the tables of contents for our docs which played hide and seek over the holidays. We also blocked submitting tags that include commas via the API.

I've resumed my "preserving old early-2000s indie music" project and I keep on running into an issue where a lot of these albums were released on low-quality blue CD-Rs and aren't available anywhere online. Does anyone have any tricks for trying to extract data from a CD-R that's degraded?
