Hi folks
Looking back at some data that emerged in time for Mashed,
http://mashed-audioandmusic.dyndns.org/musicbrainz_artist_genres.txt.gz
via http://mashed-audioandmusic.dyndns.org/#artistgenre
[[
Genres for set of MusicBrainz Artists
We have built a list of genres for MusicBrainz artists, based on
editorial data entered for bbc.co.uk/music.
You can download the dataset here:
* musicbrainz_artist_genres.txt.gz
]]
I started hacking around with this as a way of generating a music
preference profile based on a list of artists (eg. from last.fm history,
or one's myspace buddies/groups).

Mashed remote contrib: BBC music genres meet last.fm (meets OAuth)
I'd like to do some more with this, but the license terms aren't
specified. Can it be used commercially? Is attribution required? Does it
inherit any constraints from MusicBrainz? Is use in UK vs rest-of-world
treated the same, etc etc. It would be great to see this really handy
dataset put on a less volatile footing, so others in the musicbrainz++
community can feel more confident building things with it...
cheers,
Dan
