Mixlists.com is backed by a modified version of the tracks database from MusicBrainz (MB). Modifications are done through a set of AJAX pages accessing REST services. The avialable services are:
ws/compartist/
• MB has the concept of composite artists like "Akon and Eminem" which consist of two atomic artists, but the information is entered as an advanced relationship and those are frequently not well maintained. For Mixlists, I need more reliability, so this service allows access to those validation records and is used primarily to drive the validation app.ws/compartist/unidentified
• returns ten unidentified potentially composite artists along with a score as to the likelihood that they are compositews/compartist/identify
