Impressive while browsing top major artists¹. Much less so when I tried to check out some lesser known ones². At this point I’d say their database is largely empty.

²⁾ One of my first searches and already a duplicate entity ;D

Compare how much more we (or discogs, or rym) got on him: [Jacques Greene - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/a64a323b-4df9-48b5-a277-4cfc3f30a34f)

¹⁾ On the other hand, for things existing in their db, the crediting info is invaluable. For example, a fairly popular and well-received 2019 album by Julia Jacklin:

> **[Jaxsta](https://jaxsta.com/)**
>
> Jaxsta is the largest music credits database globally, sourced directly from over 380+ industry partners, including labels, publishers, and distributors.

vs  
[Release group “Crushing” by Julia Jacklin - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/09a69267-c46e-4d68-8381-27517bf3288a)

Hopefully their API will be part of the public release and not behind the pro paywall.

PS  
I mostly stayed away from all the discussions about ‘digital releases’ treatment in MB database, but one skim through Jaxsta shows what kind of a disambiguation hell it can be:

> **[Jaxsta](https://jaxsta.com/)**
>
> Jaxsta is the largest music credits database globally, sourced directly from over 380+ industry partners, including labels, publishers, and distributors.

vs the number of editions on MB:  
[Release group “hopeless fountain kingdom” by Halsey - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/69eb9696-35c8-4463-aff5-952526213ce8)
