Data Quality

Data quality levels help consumers of the data programmatically know what to expect of it, and allow MusicBrainz editors to find releases in need of a helping hand. It is not a mark of how good or bad the music in a release is - for that, use ratings.

Data quality levels

High quality

All available data has been added, if possible including cover art with liner info that proves it.

Default quality

This is the default setting - technically "unknown" if the quality has never been modified, "normal" if it has.

Low quality

The release needs serious fixes, or its existence is hard to prove (but it's not clearly fake).
