Thanks! Is there any more information on the issue with MusicBrainz?

17:26:27 <DanielK_WMDE> sjoerddebruin: yes, we went for MusicBrainz first, but it turned out to be impractical. you basically have to run their software in order to use their dumps

MusicBrainz was a major source of information for Freebase, so they appear to have been able to figure out how to parse the dumps (and they already have the MusicBrainz & Wikipedia IDs correlated).

Is there more detail, perhaps in a bug somewhere?
