Past Projects

AcousticBrainz

AcousticBrainz crowd sourced acoustic information for all music in the world and made it available to the public. It was a joint effort with Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.

MessyBrainz

MessyBrainz identifies unclean metadata, and where possible, links it to stable MusicBrainz identifiers. MessyBrainz was used for AcousticBrainz and is still being used in ListenBrainz.
