 MusicBrainz is a community-maintained open source encyclopedia of [[https://musicbrainz.org/doc/About][music information]]. The REST-based [[https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_API][webservice API]] can be used for direct access to MusicBrainz data with output in XML and JSON.
 
 This code provides a simple, incomplete yet possibly useful interface to some of the MusicBrainz and ListenBrainz APIs from emacs for exploratory  use in =org-mode= or behind the scenes sending listening metadata.

+** searching & browsing

+Search supports the full  [[https://lucene.apache.org/core/7_7_2/queryparser/org/apache/lucene/queryparser/classic/package-summary.html#package.description][Lucene search syntax]].
+
 ** some examples
 
-#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+The API docs provide an example search for “Autechre albums & eps” using the URL https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group?artist=410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61&type=album|ep

-Autechre albums & eps

-docs provide the example URL https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release-group?artist=410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61&type=album|ep
 
+The equivalent function (which returns a raw response as an alist) would be…
 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (musicbrainz-browse "release-group" "artist" "410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61" "album|ep")
 #+END_SRC
 
+For slightly more legible output wrap with =musicbrainz-format=
 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
-(musicbrainz-search-artist "Autechre")
+(musicbrainz-format (musicbrainz-browse "release-group" "artist" "410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61" "album|ep"))
 #+END_SRC
 
-#+RESULTS:
+A more interactive approach could start with  =(musicbrainz-search "artist" "Autechre")= or =(musicbrainz-search-artist "Autechre")= Which returns the MBID required for the lookup → =410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61=
-| Autechre | 410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61 |
+
+The MBID can be checked if needed,  with =(musicbrainz-mbid-p "410c9baf-5469-44f6-9852-826524b80c61")=
+
+The MBID can then be used for specific lookups…

+;; The MusicBrainz API search requests provide a way to search for MusicBrainz

+;;
+;; Parameters common to all resources
+;;
+;;  type    Selects the entity index to be searched: annotation, area, artist,
+;;          cdstub, event, instrument, label, place, recording, release,
+;;          release-group, series, tag, work, url
+;;
+;;  query   Lucene search query. This is mandatory
+;;
+;;  limit   An integer value defining how many entries should be returned.
+;;          Only values between 1 and 100 (both inclusive) are allowed.
+;;          If not given, this defaults to 25.
+;;
+;;  offset  Return search results starting at a given offset.
+;;          Used for paging through more than one page of results.
+;;
+;;  dismax  If set to "true", switches the Solr query parser from edismax to dismax,
+;;          which will escape certain special query syntax characters by default
+;;          for ease of use. This is equivalent to switching from the "Indexed search
+;;          with advanced query syntax" method to the plain "Indexed search" method
