In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded All Music Guide with a goal to create an open-access database that included every recording "since Enrico Caruso gave the industry its first big boost". It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands.Database of historical music manuscripts and music printed editions that includes full descriptions and current physical locations in libraries worldwide. User-generated database of comparison between original tracks and covers, or songs that use samples. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. It tracks styles, genres, and subgenres, along with the tone of the music and the platforms on which the music is sold.

In fact, much of what is considered classical music today grew out of, was influenced by, or was popular music of its time. Information available on these portals include songwriting credits, publishing percentage splits, and alternate titles for different distribution channels. A "record geek" who had written for alternative weeklies and fanzines, his main qualification was an "encyclopedic knowledge of music".
