Geboorte- en sterfdata van musici (register op www.allmusic.com)

Op 1 oktober 2003 waren in deze voorbeeldige muzieksite ruim 600.000 albums en bijna 5 miljoen tracks opgenomen. Van ruim 230.000 albums was een bespreking aanwezig. Van circa 65.000 artiesten ook een biografische sketch (de een ruimer als de ander). Smullen, kortom, voor de liefhebber. Maar het is op deze site niet gemakkelijk om op te zoeken welke artiesten op een bepaalde dag zijn geboren. Indien bekend wordt van de bewuste persoon (songwriter, artiest, producer, diskjockey enzovoorts) de geboortedag, geboortejaar en geboorteplaats opgenomen. Het mooie van internet is dat je door op de geboortedag, geboortejaar of geboorteplaats te klikken een lijst verschijnt van artiesten die op dezelfde dag, in het hetzelfde jaar of op dezelfde plaats zijn geboren. Er is één maar. Stel dat je wilt weten welke artisten op een bepaalde dag zijn geboren dan heb je een probleem. Je moet eerst een naam hebben van een artiest die op die bewuste dag is geboren. Heb je die naam dan kun je de volledige lijst krijgen door op de geboortedag te klikken. In dat gemis voorziet onderstaande lijst.
Per maand worden per dag maximaal vijf namen gegeven. De keuze is subjectief. Namen die vet zijn onderstreept komen voor in de muziekcanon (een lijst met de beste 1.000 albums; samengesteld op basis van fameuze muzieklijstjes, aangevuld met suggesties vanuit de Openbare bibliotheek Oss).

Er is nog een manier om binnen www.allmusic.com een lijst per geboortedag te krijgen. Daartoe dien je één keer een lijst op het scherm te 'toveren' (zie hierboven). Daarna kun je volstaan door binnen de taakbalk de data zelf aan te passen. Je verandert bijvoorbeeld 04|07 in 13|07. Let op: het is een Amerikaanse site en derhalve staat de maand achteraan. Er is nog eén maar: het lijkt er op alsof de laatste wijzigingen nog niet geïndexeerd worden, waardoor de lijsten niet volledig zijn (HvD 7 oktober 2003)
