SoundUnwound is superior to Discogs in that it has music samples via Amazon. It also has a nicer layout than MusicBrainz. As such it may be a better experience.

There is also a search engine plugin for SoundUnwound that you can add to Firefox’s search box, so you can search directly from your browser: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13030

Jesse, exactly… a lot of people seem to take a kind of pleasure in marking their music with the most exact and obscure genres… but it then become useless…

I’m not sure how many genres you could break it down into… but metal for example could probably be divided into 4 or 5 major ones.

good find, Martin. i usually use Amazon but it’s always a bit slow and awkward when trying to explore music. this new one really works a lot better. and they have some fairly good album art as well. good stuff!

Here here on the comment about genres. Especially in the heavy metal field. There are a million different genres. Metal, Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal, Grindcore, Gore Grind, Math Metal, Power Metal, Power Violence, Folk Metal and so on and so forth.

I agree with you on SoundUnwound. It’s a bit skimpy right now. I also go straight to Amazon when I want to check out an artist or group. I also use FoxyTunes Planet which aggregates information from a variety of sources including wikipedia, last.fm and YouTube.
