TheAudioDB
A new music database site TheAudioDB is now available that aims to index music album and videos in a similar way to TheTVDb and TheMovieDb.
Useful information that can be used in SwissCenter includes:
- Artist banners: Can be used on artist selected pages, similar to TV banners.
- Artist fanart: Can be used as background on artist selected pages.
- DVD details: This can include covers, track listings, etc. that can be used in a parser for music videos.
- Album description: Can be used on the album selected page.
- YouTube videos:
It also aims to provide artist bios and track lyrics but we'll keep our existing sources for these until The AudioDB proves itself to be a popular resource.
