Investigate which online metadata service(s) we should use for an initial
prototype implementation to make sure metadata import from online services
works with SMD.
The following page contains a list of a lot of online sources that might give
you some idea of suitable services:
http://code.google.com/p/socialmusicdiscovery/wiki/OnlineSources
The criteria for the service is that it at least have to support:
- Be free so everyone in the project can use it.
- Have unique identities for the metadata element it provides, for example a
unique release id or unique artist id.
- Have an API with the possibility to search by name/title to find the correct
item to import.
Musicbrainz or Discogs are probably hot candidates but it would be good to see
if there is something else that would be better.
