What BBC Music Say
We aim to provide a comprehensive guide to music content across the BBC. We are now expanding that service to provide comprehensive information about artists who appear on BBC programmes or who have been covered in bbc.co.uk/music's reviews.
Since hand-building a page for every artist heard on the BBC would be beyond our resources, we are taking basic data around names, discographies and other key information from MusicBrainz, a website which offers discographical information on artists from Abba to Zappa (along with about 350,000 others). The information on the site is contributed, edited and maintained by an international community of users (including members of BBC staff involved in music broadcasting and content), in much in the same way as Wikipedia.
