Multiple Mediachain community members have expressed interest in building a music application on top of Mediachain and all require a plug-and-play music catalog to get started.
MusicBrainz is a great candidate for this because:
- extensive catalog (1.1 million artists, 1.6 million releases, and 16 million recordings) source
- used by tons of centralized applications under the hood
- openly licensed (CC0)
- live data feed available to stay in sync
- useful data extensions such as mbspotify exist
Steps to ingest
Outlined in MusicBrainz docs:
- Set up postgres instance
- Import a database dump
- Export tables as json
- Publish to Mediachain (docs)
- Optional: Set up live feed ingestion
