MusicBrainz at the BBC

Tom writes about the upgrade to www.bbc.co.uk/music that now uses MusicBrainz IDs for artists, albums and tracks. Plus the album reviews are now under a Creative Commons license and are microformatted with hReview and hCard. Read his post to find out why this is so important and how it will expand the potential of this information.

Michael's obviously been a busy man - what with this and the prototype clickable tracklistings for Hackday.

Update: More info up on the MusicBrainz site

about this blog

I'm Tristan Ferne and I'm the lead producer in the BBC R&D Prototyping team. I'm interested in lots of things, but here I write about the web, media, music and books. You can contact me at tristan.ferne at gmail[dot]com or I'm @tristanf on Twitter.

Why is it called cookin'/relaxin'? They're the titles of two of a series of Miles Davis albums which also describe some of my favourite things.
