Data Providers

  • Discogs: extensive library, but based on physical releases
    • Default Repository for metadata
    • Default for all searches and discographies

    • migrate playlists,
    • get recommendations (+ radios)
    • similar artists
  • MusicBrainz: robust music metadata, sometimes out of date.
  • Last.FM: backup for album & artist artwork, basically a messy subset of Spotify.
