Examples

Take a look at the wiki or the Hqub.MusicBrainz.Client example project.

Breaking changes in v3

Version 3 removes all code that was marked obsolete in previous versions, specifically the static API and configuration. You should now use the MusicBrainzClient class instead. Take a look at the wiki or the examples!

Additionally, the .API suffix was removed from the assembly and all namespaces. Fix the namespace change by removing the .API suffix in your using statements, for example using Hqub.MusicBrainz.API now becomes using Hqub.MusicBrainz. The name change of the assembly should be automatically picked up if you are using Nuget to manage package dependencies. Otherwise, you will have to manually fix the reference in your project files.
