    <title>Introduction to libmusicbrainz</title>

    <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.</para>
