A new MusicBrainz user script was released

New userscript. Hacked together by AI, use at your own peril! It was going to languish in my personal-use folder, but some peeps expressed interest so here it is.


MusicBrainz RYM Release Group Linker adds a button on RYM artist pages to scrape all the entity/release info (the manual button on RYM is to avoid scraping etc which RYM really hates) and a field on MB artist pages to paste the data and compare. It will display (roughly guessed) entity matches which the user can check and then click to quickly submit the RYM links as external links to the release group - REQUIRES the ’ MusicBrainz: add release(group) links from artist/label page ’ userscript to work, by @RandomMushroom128!


It automates a rather specific task that I (and possibly only I) enjoy, which is making the RYM icons pop up in MB discographies (via the very satisfying and imo compulsory ‘Display shortcut for relationships on MusicBrainz’ userscript by @murdos), as well as comparing MB entries/completeness against RYM entries (the ‘MusicBrainz RYM Link Checker’ userscript helps with that on the RYM side).

The script could probably be easily updated to facilitate quick checking and adding of release group links from other websites too, if anyone else cares about specific RG links and feels like making pull requests!

No!

Yes!
