Wait so back in the day I remember Winamp let you configure a CDDB thing and it connected to something called.. Gracenote? (Am I remembering that correctly?) iTunes desktop at some point used to handle this all for you and I assumed it was pulling from those sources under the hood. Where did MusicBrainz come from?
”MusicBrainz was founded in response to the restrictions placed on the Compact Disc Database (CDDB), a database for software applications to look up audio CD information on the Internet. MusicBrainz has expanded its goals to reach beyond a CD metadata (information about the performers, artists, songwriters, etc.) storehouse to become a structured online database for music.”
