How do I search for a specific artist or album?

Use the `database_search` tool with the query parameter for free-text search. You can refine results with filters like type (artist, release, master, label), genre, style, year, country, or format. For example, to find a specific album, set type to 'release' and use the album name in query.

Can I check the market value of a vinyl record?

Yes. First search for the release to get its ID, then use `get_release_stats` to see community pricing data including lowest, median, and highest sale prices. You can also use `get_marketplace_listings` to see current active listings with prices and conditions.

How do I explore an artist's complete discography?

Search for the artist first to get their ID, then use `get_artist` for their profile and `get_artist_releases` for their complete discography. Results include albums, singles, compilations, and credits on other releases, sorted by year. Use pagination to navigate large discographies.
