The market

Why these prices

The music metadata market is polarized.

Hover or tap each part of the market.

Scooter Cargo fills the gap in between. Our software does the heavy lifting: publication on Wikidata is almost entirely automated, and on MusicBrainz our code speeds up entry creation, with each entry then validated by a human. The result: rigorous work, grounded in industry standards, at an accessible price.

And unlike cover art or mastering, well-made metadata doesn't stop at delivery: it keeps working for you for years.

Maintenance

Maintenance: keeping your entries up to date

A catalogue evolves:

  • a new album
  • a new collaboration
  • a label change
  • a new identifier

The databases evolve too:

  • new platforms to link
  • edits by other contributors
  • occasional vandalism on Wikidata

Without upkeep, entries don't disappear — they gradually drift away from what your catalogue has become.
