== Archive Team efforts ==
It would be useful to do a scrape of all the URLs linked from MusicBrainz entries, and repeat it regularly for new ones. This could be done internally by IA, or through ArchiveTeam.
ArchiveTeam did a scrape of all the URLs linked from MusicBrainz entries on Jan 8–9, 2016. They have been loaded into the Wayback Machine, also the standalone WARC files can be found [https://archive.org/search.php?query=Archive%20Team%20Musicbrainz%20Soundoff here].
