Page "MusicBrainz" Paragraph 4

On May 12, 2006, Robert Kaye posted an announcement on the project's official blog about a partnership between MusicBrainz and MusicIP.

Part of the agreement allows MusicBrainz to use MusicIP's MusicDNS service for acoustic fingerprinting ( PUIDs ).

Since November 24, 2008 TRMs have been phased out and MusicBrainz relies solely on PUIDs.

MusicBrainz uses RDF / XML for describing music metadata, which is available for automated processing via HTTP GET and POST methods according to REST architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems.
