How To Use IMUDB

A 2-minute guide

IMUDB helps you discover who an artist has collaborated with — features, production credits, group memberships, and more — plus genre info, audio previews, and related artists to dig into next. Here's how to get the most out of it.

1

Search any artist

Type a name into the search bar on the home page and hit "Look It Up." As you type, popular artist suggestions will appear — click one to jump straight there, or just finish typing your own.

2

Pick the right artist if there's more than one

Some names are shared by multiple artists. If that happens, you'll see a short list to choose from — each option shows the artist type, country, and any disambiguating note to help you pick correctly.

3

Browse The Lineup

Once an artist is found, you'll see their collaborators listed under "The Lineup" — anyone MusicBrainz has on record as having worked with them, including the type of relationship (featured artist, producer, band member, and more).

4

Preview a track

Where available, each collaborator card includes a 30-second audio preview of a track featuring both artists. Tap the play button to listen right there — no need to leave the page. Only one preview plays at a time.

5

Check genres and years active

The artist's card up top shows genre tags and the years they've been active, pulled straight from MusicBrainz's community-maintained data.

6

Explore related artists

Scroll to "Also Worth Checking" to see artists connected through your search — people who've worked with your artist's collaborators. Click any chip to search that artist next and keep exploring the network.

A few things worth knowing

  • Collaboration data comes from MusicBrainz, a community-maintained, open music database — so coverage depends on what's been documented there. Bigger, more mainstream artists tend to have richer data.
  • Audio previews come from Apple's iTunes catalog and are matched by title/credit, so they're usually but not always accurate.
  • Searches are limited to one every few seconds to keep the tool fast and available for everyone.
