Data Providers

Garimpa.Club is built on a linked, multi-provider music catalog. We normalize and connect metadata from public music data projects so collectors can search artists, works, releases, labels, formats, source links, and artwork in one place.

A Big Thanks

This catalog would not exist without the communities and services that make music metadata available. We are grateful to the people who document releases, identify credits, maintain open identifiers, improve artist and label histories, preserve visual context for music collections, and help listeners connect their activity back to the music they love.

Providers We Use

Discogs

Discogs provides detailed release, label, artist, format, track, and catalog-number data contributed by a large collector community. It is especially important for physical editions, label variations, country-specific releases, and marketplace-adjacent metadata.

Thank you to Discogs and to every contributor who has spent time documenting the details that make record collecting searchable and useful.

MusicBrainz

MusicBrainz provides open music identifiers and structured relationships across artists, releases, release groups, labels, recordings, areas, and external links. It helps Garimpa.Club connect catalog entries across sources and keep provenance visible.

Thank you to MusicBrainz, MetaBrainz, and the editor community for building a durable open data foundation for music.

Wikimedia, Wikipedia, and Wikidata

Wikimedia Foundation projects, including Wikipedia and Wikidata, help provide public knowledge, encyclopedic context, identifiers, and reference links around artists, labels, recordings, releases, and music history.

Thank you to Wikimedia and the global editor communities for maintaining open cultural knowledge that makes catalog data easier to understand and verify.

Fanart.tv

Fanart.tv provides artist and album artwork that helps make browsing collections more visual and recognizable.

Thank you to Fanart.tv and its contributors for making music discovery feel richer without losing sight of the catalog data underneath.

Last.fm

Last.fm helps connect listening activity, scrobbles, and music taste back to the catalog experience for users who choose to connect it.

Thank you to Last.fm for keeping listening history portable and useful across music tools.

How We Use Provider Data

Provider data is transformed into Garimpa.Club's catalog model before it appears in the app. We keep source links where available, normalize provider-specific values into shared catalog fields, and use the combined data to support search, detail pages, collection tools, discovery surfaces, source references, artwork, and connected listening features.
