Additional Metadata and Information
Some information cannot be stored in the MusicBrainz database but is important background information for editing and voting. These are:
- IdenticallyNamedArtists - A list of artists who have the same name. Most of them are not yet SplitArtists but are one entry in the database so you could start to work on them.
- NotDuplicateArtists - This tries to keep track of artists with similar names who are not duplicate entries and should not be merged. Also see NotDuplicateAlbums for a list of similar albums which are not the same.
- OddRelease
s - Different releases that are hard to fit into the MusicBrainz schema.- There is also a page called OddReleaseDiscussion. It is rather outdated and if you have a question when editing something odd it is probably best to ask in the UsersMailingList or see if you find a hint in the StyleGuidelines.
- 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.
- If you need help editing in certain languages you might want to look at TellSimilarLanguagesApart of contact a moderator with a certain ModeratorLanguage - or you try one of the OnlineTranslator
s.

- TracksWithMultipleArtists - Tries to list all releases that have tracks that consist of more than one song by more than one artist.
- VirtualDuplicateAlbum
s - A list collecting all albums that were duplicated with another track listing although it does not actually exist in this version (so it's virtual) - either because of tagging problems with special Unicode characters or for just transscripting/translating it (often done with Japanese releases). In a future database version it might be possible to put all these entries into one.
External
- OtherDatabases can be helpfull resources for editing the data in MusicBrainz.
- A rather outdated page provided links to ArtistDiscography
s - though now that they can be stored using AdvancedRelationships this page only contains a few usefull links. - Again: there is a list of OnlineTranslator
s.
Trivia
Trivia is the fun in data!
- For attempts to collect trivia about the data stored in the MusicBrainz database see DataTrivia.
- But there is also information about the social component of it:
- MusicBrainzSlang for example tries to describe vocabulary used by the MusicBrainz users.
- On http://www.frappr.com/musicbrainz you can find a map locating the users of MusicBrainz - feel free to add yourself to it!
Subjective Data
Storing subjective, non-factual data maybe one of the future goals of MusicBrainz. As by now there are only proposals.
- There is a very outdated draft for MusicReviews but this is not used anymore. Though we have a new separate Wiki dealing with questions about the realization of a review system: http://review.musicbrainz.org/.
- MusicRating might provide means of rating the data in MusicBrainz.
- Genre information is perhaps too subjective and may lead to disputes (see GenreAlternative for another outdated draft) but the data could be categorized using a FolksonomySystem.
