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 SoundUnwound is superior to Discogs in that it has music samples via Amazon.

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.

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. I agree with you on SoundUnwound. It’s a bit skimpy right now.
