Entity Types
Relevant video:
- Area
- Areas are historical and existing geographic regions.
- Artist
- Artists are generally a musician, group of musicians, a collaboration of multiple musicians or other music professionals who contribute to works described in the MusicBrainz Database.
- Artist Credits
- Artist credits are a list of artists, variations of artist names and pieces of text to join the artist names.
- Event
- An organised event which people can attend, and is relevant to MusicBrainz. Events generally refer to live performances, like concerts and festivals.
- Label
- Labels are generally imprints on releases, and to a lesser extent, the record companies behind those imprints.
- Medium
- A medium is a piece of media included in a release. It contains information about the format, position in the release and an optional title as well as a list of tracks.
- Place
- Places are areas smaller than a geographical region (like a building or an outdoor area) used to perform or produce music.
- Recording
- Recordings are unique audio data. Has title, artist credit, duration, and ISRCs.
- Release
- Releases are real-world release objects (like a physical album) that you can buy in your music store.
- Release Group
- Release groups are an abstract "album" entity. Technically it's a group of releases, with a specified type.
- Series
- A series is a sequence of separate release groups, releases, recordings, works or events with a common theme. The theme is usually prominent in the branding of the entities in the series and the individual entities will often have been given a number indicating the position in the series.
- Track
- A track contains a link to a recording, title, artist credit and the position on the medium. A track is different from a recording in that it is unique to a release; a number of different releases can contain the same recording.
- URL
- A URL represents a regular Internet Uniform Resource Locator and an associated description of that URL.
- Work
- One layer above recordings ("song", "composition", etc.). While recording represents audio data, work represents the composition behind the recording.
