Introduction

Please read the Database product page, and the DatabaseSchema documentation for a description of the schema, if you are not familiar with the MusicBrainz Database.

Public Domain

norights-a.gif The core data (artists, releases, tracks etc.) is available under the Public Domain license.

Creative Commons

RDF export

The RDF export, mbdump.rdf.bz2 has gone for good. If you want a complete RDF export, please download the Postgres database export (as described above), set up a MusicBrainz Server, then run mb_server/admin/RDFDump.pl to produce an RDF export.

Get files from the primary FTP server

Older data files, and other miscellaneous files are available from the MusicBrainz FTP server

Installation

There are a few contributed guidelines how to setup the database on different systems. See DatabaseSetup for the list of available documents. The easiest way to get a running database is to install a VirtualMusicBrainzServer.
