How "labels" work in MusicBrainz?

Any MusicBrainz user can edit labels in several ways:

  • AddLabelEdit (autoedit)

  • EditLabelNameEdit

  • EditLabelSortnameEdit

  • AddLabelAnnotationEdit

  • AddLabelAliasEdit

  • EditLabelAliasEdit

  • RemoveLabelAliasEdit

  • MergeLabelsEdit

For general informations about these edits (and other types of edit), see EditType.

Labels suggested readings

Labels in MusicBrainz are an important and relatively complex topic. It's recommended that you first start familiarizing yourself with the basic concepts in the General information category of the navigation bar (up that page).

You may then consult the documentation pertaining to AdvancedRelationships and labels, which are listed on the LabelRelationshipClass page.

Editors who want to do more researches, may consult one of the items listed under Advanced documentation.

If you still need help, you may ask your question on the UsersMailingList, the MusicBrainzForum, the IRC channel, or the [WWW] LabelDiscussion page.

If you're interested in either the future or the past, you may additionally consult/contribute to LabelFuture (suggest enhancements, list problems and limitations, or propose a new masterplan), or LabelHistory (for a list of fixed tickets and some interesting insight into the old days)
