Title: Database | ||
|
||
The AcoustID database includes user-submitted audio fingerprints, their mapping to | ||
MusicBrainz IDs and some supporting tables. It follows the [structure of the | ||
PostgreSQL database][db] used by the AcoustID server. Each table is exported in a | ||
separate file with the tab-separated text format used by the | ||
[`COPY` command][copy]. At the moment, there are no tools for importing the | ||
database dump, it has to be done manually. | ||
The main part of the AcoustID database is publicly available. That includes | ||
user-submitted audio fingerprints, their mapping to MusicBrainz IDs and | ||
some other mappings. | ||
|
||
The main database is licensed under the [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 | ||
Unported License][cc], with the exception of the MusicBrainz-AcoustID mapping which is | ||
placed into the [public domain][pd]. | ||
The data is published daily, as incremental update files in JSON format, | ||
which you can use to reconstruct the database and keep it up to udate. | ||
The files can be downloaded [here](http://data.acoustid.org/). | ||
|
||
Monthly database dumps can be downloaded [here](http://data.acoustid.org/). | ||
The data is licensed under the [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 | ||
Unported License][cc], with the exception of the MusicBrainz-AcoustID mapping | ||
which can be considered [public domain][pd]. | ||
|
||
All files are signed using [GnuPG](gpg). In order to verify the signatures you have | ||
to first import the [public key](pubkey): | ||
|
||
$ curl http://data.acoustid.org/pubkey.txt | gpg --import - | ||
|
||
Once you have the public key imported, you can verify the signature: | ||
|
||
$ gpg --verify acoustid-core-dump.tar.bz2.asc | ||
gpg: Signature made Sun Nov 20 10:17:24 2011 UTC using RSA key ID B8ED25DD | ||
gpg: Good signature from "AcoustID Downloads <[email protected]>" | ||
