Welcome to MusicBrainz!
MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public.
MusicBrainz aims to be:
The ultimate source of music information
by allowing anyone to contribute and releasing the
data
under
open licenses
The universal lingua franca for music
by providing a reliable and unambiguous form of
music identification
, enabling both people and machines to have meaningful conversations about music.
Like Wikipedia, MusicBrainz is maintained by a global community of users and we want everyone — including you — to
participate and contribute
