Real records, clear provenance

Catalog records are synchronized from MusicBrainz through reviewed imports. Empty states remain visible until real records are available. Source links identify artists, release groups and specific editions; artwork remains linked to its source while reproduction rights are unverified.

Core MusicBrainz data is CC0; supplementary community tags are available under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Imports default to CC0 core fields and independently curated classifications; supplementary-data imports require explicit licensing authorization. MusicBrainz data licensing ↗. Artwork has separate rights and is not covered by those metadata licenses.

Albums and editions are different

A release group represents an album or other work. An edition represents a particular release, such as a format, country or catalog number. Your collection tracks editions so each pressing can have its own place.
