Quick examples
The identifier separates artists with the same name
Search returns artists and a result can have id, name, sort-name, type, country, area, life-span, aliases, tags, and score. Use id as the artist reference when saving a selection or opening other queries; names and aliases can repeat or vary by language. Country, area, and life span help disambiguate but depend on the available record. score orders search and tags are collaborative metadata, not an official classification or complete discography.
- Compare id, type, and life-span for homonyms.
- Treat aliases as alternate names, not complete credits.
- Open the artist record to confirm relationships and releases.
