20 years ago... we announced the first commercial project built with MusicBrainz data!

Sadly Música Linkara has been taken by time, but since 2006 we have had countless commercial supporters - allowing our servers to keep serving open data to the world.

Small improvements, fixes and URL handling improvements! And we found the tables of contents for our docs which played hide and seek over the holidays. We also blocked submitting tags that include commas via the API.

#yearinmusic 2025 is OUT NOW!

"A bit like Spotify’s Wrapped (but way super better, in my extremely biased opinion) your ListenBrainz Year in Music report summarizes your listening habits from throughout the year 2025… and now, back through time!"
