Oh no, I got into tagging music with MusicBrainz Picard... now that I tagged some stuff, I have to tag *all* of it. I can't stop. I need another summer holiday just for this. What I don't get is that sometimes it leaves the title unchanged even though it shows me it found the track in an album […]

We are aware of current issues with the MusicBrainz search. This affects anything that utlises the search (/ws/2/query?), including Picard and other third-party applications. For a change, we don’t think this is related to scraping! Thank you very much for your kindness and patience. -a

Good morning @musicbrainz.org, I’ve encountered a situation I haven’t come across before. For this soundtrack, the database lists the original French spelling, but as it’s a soundtrack, I have the English spelling. What would be the best way to handle this?

People: MusicBrainz still exists? MusicBrainz:

A screenshot with the title “MusicBrainz Entity Count Statistics”.

The screenshot itself has a graph called “Exact values (items vs. day)”, which ranges from 0-7 million on the vertical axis, and from the years 2000 to 2026 on the bottom axis. There are multiple coloured lines, each representing areas, artists, events, intruments, labels, etc, and most of them look to be increasing exponentially!
