What web applications are there for searching music/label/artist information. Not very interesting in social features of last.fm or similar. Just want to search for database-like information eg:

  • all releases by author X
  • all releases by label X
  • compilations where artist X appears
  • etc.

Best what I found till now is:

  • discogs.com
  • allmusic.com

any other?

MusicBrainz is the most comprehensive database that I know of. It's not very user-friendly, though--it's just a raw database.

Last.fm is a nice alternative, but it's not quite as comprehensive. Also, the content is mainly user-generated, which means there may be some mistakes in labeling. Still, it gives some cool statistics and has some other neat features (you can actually listen to the music, for example).

GraceNote is another one (formerly CDDB).
