Hi! I am part of the team trying to build these tools. Have you checked out https://last.fm https://last.fm. I think its possible to associate musicbrainz data with last.fm data. Can you share more details on how you plan to use this data?
- steerpike 6y agoSure. Couple of points: * Lastfm has an API but it's not great and an API is different to a dataset. I want to have the data available in my own DB, not have to make requests for whatever I might need. * You can't get youtube links from the lastfm API, you have to crawl the tracks pages. * The tags on lastfm are a folksonomy not a fixed taxonomy like musicbrainz I have used [music-map](https://www.music-map.com/ https://www.music-map.com/) and last.fm together to make a [playlist generator](http://playlist.hallofbrightcarvings.com.au http://playlist.hallofbrightcarvings.com.au) but I'd like to be able to do the same kind of thing without having to crawl third party sites. I'd also like to know that there was a music database of listenable music that was kept up to date.
