External Resources

Jump to navigationJump to search
Note: this page needs more flesh and to be linked to.
This page tries to list all external (to MusicBrainz) programs, scripts, reports, etc. that deal with MusicBrainz.
Possible incorrect data
- Duplicate DiscIDs
- Releases with a date of 1990-10-25 (bogus Amazon release date)
- Releases that need work to allow FixLength.pl to fix tracktimes
- FauxFaux list of reports
- Releases in a set with differing events, language, script, etc.

About amazon's [Import] label not trustworthy, here is the smoke-proof to check whether the IMPORT is bogus or not on .fr Switch the tld to .de: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00004UH7R Check what they have as a label, in this case: Label: France (Megaphon Importservice) => it comes from france, and the [Import] is on .fr is bogus.
