About MusicUniverse

MusicUniverse is a music database and review platform. Think of it as an open, community-owned reference for recorded music: artists, albums and songs, each with its own page, discography, credits and community score.

How rankings work

Members rate albums, songs and artists from 1 to 10. Those votes are averaged into the MusicUniverse Score. There is no editorial input and no industry data — every ranking on the site is generated live from member ratings, so the boards change as people vote.

Where the data comes from

Catalog metadata is sourced from MusicBrainz, the open music encyclopedia, and enriched with cover art and 30-second previews from public provider feeds. Official national charts are pulled from public chart feeds and always credited on the charts page.

Developers

MusicUniverse exposes a public, read-only catalog API over MCP at /mcp. It is rate limited to 100 requests per hour per IP and never exposes accounts, ratings or any private data.
