-I often feel like all crowd-sourced information is already on the internet.
-Sure, there are people who edit Wikipedia furiously.
-But that's not me.
-At least, I _thought_ I would never have anything to offer.
-
-At the beginning of this cozy winter, I took on the task of ripping my household's CDs.
-I'd wake up, put the next letter of an alphabetical stack on my desk, and methodically get to work.
-My [ripper](https://github.com/poddmo/abcde) levereges the [MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/) database to look up CD information.
-CDs don't have any metadata on the disk, so wonderful projects like MusicBrainz map raw discs with the artist, album name, track titles, and other metadata.
-
-Out of 257 albums, only eight where not on MusicBrainz! 
-To not break my flow, I set these in another pile as they came up to worry about later.
-My initial idea was to enter in the information locally.
-When I finished the rest of the albums though, I let these linger on the desk.
-
-It took me about a week of gazing at this pile's beady eyes before I relented.
-I started poking around MusicBrainz for the first time to try to understand why it couldn't find my discs.
-That's when I found out maybe everything _isn't_ on the internet.
-
-Most were missing disc IDs.
-Easy fix.
-Look up the release and submit the new ID from the disc.
-
-But how is Q-Tip not on here?
-Turns out it's the [Korean version](https://musicbrainz.org/release/a90f31db-605f-4238-8585-ca57938bbdb4): scan the packaging, make a new release, done.
-
-[Etta James four disc set](https://musicbrainz.org/release/3d32ef0e-0353-4b96-a612-bea655664ac9): budget Euro label, copy over existing song info, verify with packaging, done.
-
-[Operatic two disc set](https://musicbrainz.org/release/e13ac9ab-5a91-4965-bb6b-e552581f300f): every accent and umlaut must be accounted for! Why is the name on the spine different than the name on the cover?
-
-[Stigma](https://musicbrainz.org/release/49aff8a8-9932-400a-a832-a86f8dea7d29): one of these [thrity Stigmas](https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=stigma&type=artist&limit=50&method=indexed) must be them. (They were not, I had to add [another one](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/638dd7c9-cfdd-42bb-9b90-4a4856bfa290).)
-
-It wasn't the most compelling way to spend my time off, but it was rewarding.
-Beyond being able to correctly label my CDs, I had a blast building the collective conscience.
-The physicality of finishing an album and taking another off the stack gave me fuel to continue.
-Digging through booklets and entering in forms brought a sense of peace to me.
-
-My apprecition goes out to all the people who contribute to MusicBrainz and make my life easier.
-Now I just have to get a scanner so I can upload these ablum covers...
