MusicBrainz uses two IRC channels for real-time chat and discussions. For more information about IRC in general, see the [[Wikipedia:Internet Relay Chat|Wikipedia article]]. If you don't have an [[Wikipedia:Internet_Relay_Chat#Clients|IRC client]] (such as [[Wikipedia::MIRC|mIRC]] or [[Wikipedia:Colloquy_(IRC_client)|Colloquy]]), Freenode provides a [https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=musicbrainz,metabrainz web-based client].

Please note that all users of the IRC channels are expected to follow the [[Code Of Conduct]].

==Channels==

The '''MusicBrainz community and support channel''' is
* [https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=musicbrainz,metabrainz #musicbrainz] on the Freenode web-based client. This is recomended for users without an IRC client installed.
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/musicbrainz #musicbrainz] on irc.freenode.net This is recommended for users who seek more options and have an IRC client installed.

Among the regulars in this channel are quite a few of the [[MusicBrainz_Bio|developers]] as well as some of the [[Auto-Editor|auto-editors]] and other active MusicBrainz users. Anything related to MusicBrainz, including [[MusicBrainz_Picard|Picard]] and other [[Products|MusicBrainz products]], is welcome here. References to IRC in MusicBrainz generally refer to this channel. As in many communities, the regulars in the channel have their own [[MusicBrainz Slang|slang]].

The '''development and general MetaBrainz channel''' is [irc://irc.freenode.net/metabrainz #metabrainz] on irc.freenode.net

Apart from MusicBrainz development, this channel also hosts general [https://metabrainz.org/ MetaBrainz] talk, incl. discussion about all the other *Brainz projects: [https://bookbrainz.org/ BookBrainz], [https://critiquebrainz.org/ CritiqueBrainz], [[AcousticBrainz]], [http://listenbrainz.org/ ListenBrainz], [http://messybrainz.org/ MessyBrainz], and the [[Cover Art Archive]]. There is a weekly [[Development Chat|dev chat]] held in this channel. A reminder is normally sent out to the [[Developers Mailing List|developers mailing list]] Sunday night/Monday morning.

There are also channels in other languages than English:

* [irc://irc.freenode.net/musicbrainz-de #musicbrainz-de] (german/deutsch; [http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/musicbrainz-de/ chat log])
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/musicbrainz-ja #musicbrainz-ja] (japanese/日本語) ([http://hcm.fam.cx/mbja/chatlog.cgi 今日のログ]/[http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/musicbrainz-ja/ chat log])

== BrainzBot ==

BrainzBot is a bot which logs all conversion in the MetaBrainz IRC channels. You can see all of the chat log archives at http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/. BrainzBot will not log messages that start with "[off]", so feel free to use that if you have some sensitive messages.
