MusicBrainz

Community-maintained open music encyclopedia

About MusicBrainz

MusicBrainz is a community music encyclopedia that collects structured metadata about artists, releases, and recordings for anyone to use. Because it is self-hosted, you decide where the data lives, who can access it, and how long it is kept, with no per-seat lock-in. In practice it rewards a little setup effort with long-term independence, transparent behavior, and a community that documents real-world deployments.
