    <para>
      The <application>libmusicbrainz</application> package contains a library
      which allows you to access the data held on the MusicBrainz server.
      This is useful for adding MusicBrainz lookup capabilities to other
      applications.
    </para>

    <para>
      MusicBrainz is a community music metadatabase that attempts to create
      a comprehensive music information site. You can use the MusicBrainz data
      either by browsing the web site, or you can access the data from a client
      program &mdash; for example, a CD player program can use MusicBrainz to
      identify CDs and provide information about the CD, about the artist or
      other related information.
