MusicBrainz Scraper Library review
A focused, free Kodi module for retrieving music information from MusicBrainz.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MusicBrainz Scraper Library is a Kodi add-on library/module for retrieving music information from MusicBrainz. Team Kodi is identified as its author, and its focused role makes it relevant to people maintaining Kodi music libraries who want information from that service. It is a metadata tool rather than a playback add-on, so its appeal is tied to music information retrieval rather than broader media features.
Its scope is deliberately narrow: the documented function is retrieving music information from MusicBrainz, with Kodi as the host. The add-on is listed in the Kodi.tv repositories for Kodi v20 and v21, and the installation source is the official repository. That gives Kodi users a defined place to find it, while making the Kodi repository context central to its fit. Buyers seeking a general-purpose media add-on or broader library-management functions should look for a product whose documented scope includes those capabilities.
The pricing model is free, and a free plan is available. There are no paid tiers described here to compare, so the decision is mainly about whether MusicBrainz metadata retrieval meets the need. Choose this module for a Kodi music library where that specific source and function are useful; skip it if the priority is playback, extensive management features, or a wider media workflow. Its value lies in serving that focused Kodi metadata task without a listed price.
