A lot of (particularly older) music is on Discogs but not musicbrainz. Including much from africa, south america, etc. as well as blues, electronic, etc.
I think Discogs mainly caters to record collectors (vinyl etc.) which is not often covered by other sources. While honestly musicbrainz info is more common/shared.
- fireattack 6y ago>I think Discogs mainly caters to record collectors This makes sense, I do have better experience when looking for vinyls, regardless of country of origin. Still think they should at least have a basic dataset for newer CDs, though (to be fair, MusicBrainz's new music catalog is often lagged by a few months too.)
- rhizome 6y agoDiscogs also contains digital releases.
- thirdsun 6y agoHowever those are somewhat neglected by their user base. Digital releases are rarely even listed along with their physical counterparts on Discogs. Of course it's up to the users to actually create and maintain those entries.
