[edit] The MusicBrainz Users' Mailing List

If you are interested in keeping in touch or getting involved with the MusicBrainz project, please subscribe to the musicbrainz-users mailing list. This list is designed for general discussion about the MusicBrainz project and any general questions and issues that might arise.

[edit] Topics

The MusicBrainz user's MailingList is currently the most active of all MusicBrainzForums. It is the place for user to ask

• how best to use the current system
• what to do about controversial edits and votes
• problems using the web site or the client software
• questions about the exact interpretation of the StyleGuidelines
• possible future development

The last point, proposals and discussion of new features is not always seen favourably. MusicBrainz is a very complex system and new features need to fit into it. Therefore If you ask for a pony or your proposal does not fit into the current structure, you might get ignored. See MailingListDiscussion for some history about this problem.

[edit] Read Mail

• Combined archive of all MusicBrainz MailingLists. Hosted by Nabble and fully searchable.
• Alternatives:
  • Gmane hosts another searchable archive, viewable in threaded and blog-like modes. Gmane also provides NNTP gateway for MusicBrainz MailingLists.
  • MusicBrainz also hosts a pipermail archive. This is far less comfortable than the Nabble or Gmane archive, though.

• Search the lists (Use the site search, and select "Search the MusicBrainz mailing lists")
• subscribe to or unsubscrive from the mailing list using Mailman.

[edit] Write Mail

• Send an email to mailto:musicbrainz-users@lists.musicbrainz.org
• Nabble allows you to post to the users' mailinglist like to a web-forum. This only works for the users' mailing list, not for the other MailingLists.
