Dear MusicBrainz Team/Community,
I am writing to seek guidance on the best way to contribute a large dataset of Uzbek music to the MusicBrainz database. I have access to comprehensive metadata for over 55,000 tracks and 3,000+ artists from the two largest music labels in Uzbekistan: RizaNova and NevoMusic.
Currently, Uzbek contemporary music is underrepresented in the database, and my goal is to provide accurate, high-quality metadata, including:
-
Artist names and aliases (Latin/Cyrillic).
-
ISRC codes and Barcodes (where available).
-
Release dates and official YouTube/Media links.
My Questions:
-
Since this is a massive volume of data, what is the preferred method for mass importing without overwhelming the edit system?
-
Should I apply for a Bot Account to automate the process, or is there a specific import script/tool you recommend for label-scale datasets?
-
Are there specific editors or mentors within the community who specialize in Central Asian music that I should consult with?
I have the data ready in structured formats (JSON/CSV) and I am capable of writing Python scripts (using python-musicbrainzngs) to interact with the API, but I want to ensure I follow all community guidelines and rate limits.
Looking forward to your professional advice.
