MusicBrainz is a freely licensed, crowd-sourced music database. They make the whole database available as regular dumps, and host some of their content (particularly album covers) at the Internet Archive.

TODO

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.
