Where does Raygum music data come from?

MusicBrainz: the foundation

All of Raygum's core music metadata comes from MusicBrainz, an open music encyclopedia maintained by a global community of contributors. MusicBrainz contains data on millions of artists, releases, and tracks, and it is freely available for anyone to use.

What data comes from MusicBrainz

• Artist names, origins, and relationships
• Release titles, dates, labels, and formats
• Track titles, durations, and credits
• Genre and tag information
• Links between artists, releases, and recordings

AI-generated content

In addition to MusicBrainz data, Raygum uses AI to generate artist biographies and release summaries. These provide helpful context when exploring music and are clearly supplementary to the factual metadata from MusicBrainz.

Community-maintained data

Because MusicBrainz is community-maintained, its data is continuously updated and improved by volunteers around the world. If you notice missing or incorrect information on Raygum, it may be worth checking or contributing to the MusicBrainz database directly.
