I live in Vancouver, Canada. Our family has a collection of some 500 CDs which are gradually being ripped, encoded, and tagged. Most are opera and classical, but there are other genres in there too.... I really care about having accurate metadata on my opera tracks, because that's an important part of having it show up well in the music players.

Tip: Use --~~ in wikitext; when you save the page, the system substitutes a nice name and timestamp.

What I'm seized of at MusicBrainz

• Get good metadata tags for the CD collection I'm ripping.
• Figure out how enter metadata for my CD collection efficiently.
• Improving documentation of existing features. Write howto documents recording what I've learned.
  • Interesting stats at JimDeLaHunt/AdvancedRelationshipsCensus . --JimDeLaHunt 2008-01-26

• Maybe write some better data entry UIs or bots to systematically clean up existing data.
• Look at the ObjectModel and notions like work (composition) as applicable to ClassicalMusic, OperaMusic and MusicalTheatre.
  • Essay: NGS 'Works' should help cut CSG Gordian Knot (2010/December)
• Figure out what MusicBrainz is trying to be: "This site is intended to be a free, on-line encyclopedia of music information." (GeneralFAQ), but that still leaves me with questions.
• Is MB attempting to build a database of true facts and relationships about music separate from particular recordings, and/or a database of facts and relationships about recordings, and/or a service that produces useful metadata tags for digital music files?
