Data Providers

• Discogs: extensive library, but based on physical releases
  • Default Repository for metadata
  • Default for all searches and discographies
• Spotify: decent library, but tied to who service-based choices
  • 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• MusicBrainz: robust music metadata, sometimes out of date.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.
• Bandcamp: something to look into
  • Extensive libraries for obscure artists that host and sell on Bandcamp
  • HTML scraping could give us a streaming provider here.
