Last Notes npub1tm4068ak4e23wxsx5mpufqp93ppjgnuxthc22a28p5gjktts2w9s9m79a3 MusicBrainz #MusicBrainzSchemaChange complete! Thank you for your patience. All sites should now be back to normal. Full blog post: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2026/03/11 Expect a second blog post with release info and upgrade instructions later today / tomorrow. npub1tm4068ak4e23wxsx5mpufqp93ppjgnuxthc22a28p5gjktts2w9s9m79a3 MusicBrainz #MusicBrainzServerUpdate, v-2026-04-27.0 Mainly a very substantial rewrite of the external links editor code, to make that section of our editors more efficient. We also fixed a few long-standing links editor bugs - please keep reporting any issues. https://blog.metabrainz.org/2026/04/27/musicbrainz-server-update-2026-04-27/ https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/479/987/244/452/067/original/dc8246796b461ba1.png npub1tm4068ak4e23wxsx5mpufqp93ppjgnuxthc22a28p5gjktts2w9s9m79a3 MusicBrainz Servers are under heavy load from AI scrapers/bots, which is causing intermittent service slowdown.

What a rush it must have been to get confirmation that the MetaBrainz model can work commercially - that you can license public domain data, to everyone's benefit! Sadly Música Linkara has been taken by the tides of time, but since 2006 we have had countless commercial supporters of MusicBrainz data, allowing our (now much bigger) server pool to keep serving CC0 data to the world. https://blog.metabrainz.org/2006/01/20/introducing-linkara-musica/ npub1tm4068ak4e23wxsx5mpufqp93ppjgnuxthc22a28p5gjktts2w9s9m79a3 MusicBrainz smol inactive user purge (don’t panic, we are talking *very* inactive… this is mainly catching never-touched accounts/spam) -a https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/786/529/093/916/070/original/39ee12fd366a2763.jpg npub1tm4068ak4e23wxsx5mpufqp93ppjgnuxthc22a28p5gjktts2w9s9m79a3 MusicBrainz #MusicBrainzServerUpdate, 2025-06-23 First release after the database schema change and the search upgrade, mostly bringing small bug-fixes and improvements. -y https://blog.metabrainz.org/2025/06/23/musicbrainz-server-update-2025-06-23/ npub1tm4068ak4e23wxsx5mpufqp93ppjgnuxthc22a28p5gjktts2w9s9m79a3 MusicBrainz I swear the only reason my OCD-ass ever joined the MetaBrainz dev chat (about a decade ago) was to complain about singles sorting above EP’s in MusicBrainz. Dreams do come true. Never forget your roots. Stay humble. We made it to the top fam 😭🙏 -a #MusicBrainzSchemaChange https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/554/218/883/698/878/original/d001a231b33b7923.jpg npub1tm4068ak4e23wxsx5mpufqp93ppjgnuxthc22a28p5gjktts2w9s9m79a3 MusicBrainz Big nerd news: Harmony, a streaming site release aggregator/importer for #MusicBrainz (https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/) quietly dropped shortcuts to seed recording (individual songs) relationships with their specific streaming URL pages. Recording relationships have gone off the charts - literally. This huge increase in track-specific data may also open doors for @nprofile…3l6q matching, and for others who use our datasets. -a https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/276/973/380/340/382/original/568228d8e04a9fe7.jpg
