Additional Metadata and Information

Some information cannot be stored in the MusicBrainz database but is important background information for editing and voting. These are:

  • InternationalArtists - Lists of artists from certain countries. This is a good point to start editing on artists in your native language! Also if you want to keep track on the artists from a certain (your) country you can subscribe to the artists on this list.
  • TracksWithMultipleArtists - Tries to list all releases that have tracks that consist of more than one song by more than one artist.
  • VirtualDuplicateAlbums - A list collecting all albums that were duplicated with another track listing although they do not actually exist in this version (so they are virtual) - either because of tagging problems with special Unicode characters or for just transscripting/translating them (often done with Japanese releases). In a future database version it might be possible to put all these entries into one.
  • FictitiousArtists - Lists artists in the database which don't exist as real persons but are of discographic relevance because material was released under their name - for example the Muppets.

Trivia

Trivia is the fun in data!

Subjective Data

Storing subjective, non-factual data maybe one of the future goals of MusicBrainz. As by now there are only proposals.
