MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects and provides music metadata to the public. It aims to become the ultimate source for music information, where anyone can contribute and data is released under open licenses. Operated by the MetaBrainz Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in California, MusicBrainz offers various tools such as Picard, AudioRanger, Mp3tag, Yate Music Tagger, and MusicBrainz for Android to help users manage their music collections. The database is largely released into the public domain, allowing free download and use of its data. Founded by a global community of users, it provides a universal language for music that offers reliable and unique identification, enabling meaningful conversations about music for both humans and machines.
