MusicBrainz Metadata

There have been in the past preliminary attempts at consolidating data about labels prior to the introduction of labels into the database. Most of their content should probably be migrated into the database now. They are to be found here:

• CatalogCode providing some catalog schemes
• Jazz/Labels providing informations/links/catalogs for a number of jazz oriented labels
