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:
Best what I found till now is:
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).
There is also Rate Your Music. The main original use was rating of albums but the database became a general music database. When compared to MusicBrainz, Rate Your Music contains less structured and accurate data.
