MusicBrainz: an open music encyclopedia
Just to push home the awesomeness of crazy music nerds that together create MusicBrainz, please have a look at these two examples:<p>1. Number of releases per album individually tagged:
<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;release-group&#x2F;f5093c06-23e3-404f-aeaa-40f72885ee3a" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;release-group&#x2F;f5093c06-23e3-404f-aea...</a><p>2. The amount of metadata for an album:
<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;release&#x2F;b84ee12a-09ef-421b-82de-0441a926375b" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;release&#x2F;b84ee12a-09ef-421b-82de-0441...</a><p>When you get used to this kind of high quality metadata, it&#x27;s just so so sad to see how companies like Spotify treat metadata. As an example, look up Bob Marley &amp; The Wailers on Spotify and try to find original releases, and then compare that to the list found here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;artist&#x2F;c296e10c-110a-4103-9e77-47bfebb7fb2e" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;artist&#x2F;c296e10c-110a-4103-9e77-47bfe...</a><p>...and the sad part is that the metadata is freely available, with a permissive license.
