The site was originally built to provide a free source of artwork and metadata for the Kodi community. Since then, many other services have selected our API. We aim to provide a comprehensive data source for music for the open source and commercial communities. It is important to note that we do not provide any music or copywrited works. We are strictly an artwork and metadata site.

This site was originally built to service a need from HTPC apps to grab good quality music data over the web. Traditionally these apps have scraped different websites.
