Ug, I'm late to this discussion, but I can't find anything in the Musicbrainz.org documentation that provides the same access / results as FreeDB.
In other words, from a "discid" (in Musicbrainz format or FreeDB format or otherwise), I want artist, album, and track titles, and optimally cover artwork.
Does anyone know how to get that, in JSON or XML format, from Musicbrainz?
- creeble 7y agoOkay, to answer my own question: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/discid/I5l9cCSFccLKFEKS.7wqSZAorPU-?fmt=json https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/discid/I5l9cCSFccLKFEKS.7wqSZAo... will give you a list of "releases" for that discid. Use the release ID in this endpoint, with the included parameters: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/8e061dc4-790e-4587-ba53-011e7852f88d?inc=recordings&fmt=json https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/8e061dc4-790e-4587-ba53... and you'll get the track data. Not quite sure how to get the album art yet, but should follow.
- Freso 7y agoCover art, when available, is via the Cover Art Archive API: https://coverartarchive.org/api https://coverartarchive.org/api (The Release lookup has a `cover-art-archive` JSON object which contains information about what can be fetched from CAA.)
