To celebrate the new year, I have released two new userscripts which should help you to add spoken vocals and copyright relationships faster. These are also teasers for the features which are still to come: Partially automated parsing of plain text credits and importing of (all) relationships from other sites like Discogs.

Userscript to add and import voice actor credits

Discussion and support thread for my new userscript: Voice Actor Credits [Install] [Source] Simplifies the addition of “spoken vocals” relationships (at release level) by providing a pre-filled dialogue in the relationship editor. Imports voice actor credits from linked Discogs pages. Automatically matches artists whose Discogs pages are linked to MB (unlinked artists can be selected from the already opened inline search). Caches Discogs to MBID mappings (to reduce API calls) and collects ma…

Userscript to parse copyright notices

Discussion and support thread for my new userscript: MusicBrainz: Parse Copyright Notice [Install] [Source] Extracts all copyright and legal information from the given text. Automates the process of creating release-label relationships for these. Also creates phonographic copyright relationships for all selected recordings (userscript only). Detects artists who own the copyright of their own release and adds artist relationships for these (userscript only). Caches name to MBID mappings, so y…

As a bonus I have finally released a few bookmarklets which I have been using for a while now and which had been buried in my (formerly private) feature branch for the above userscripts:

Kellnerd's bookmarklet support thread

New Bookmarklets Relate This Entity To Multiple MBID Relates the currently edited entity to multiple entities given by their MBIDs. Automatically uses the default relationship type between the two entity types (pro-users should be able to tweak this by inserting the ID of their desired relationship, the source code contains an example). Update: Automatically uses the selected relationship type of the currently active relationship dialog. Falls back to the default relationship type between t…

Not a new script but an old one that was apparently never mentioned here has a useful update for people dealing with parent works and subworks (mostly classical I guess with symphony/movements and opera/acts).

The Guess work/load subworks script is helping a lot to fill automatically the “edit relationships” page when consecutive tracks correspond to consecutive subworks of a parent work but has trouble dealing with tracks not corresponding exactly to the parent work structure:

• there was a way to deal with a subwork split between different tracks (marking them as “partial recording”)
• there was no way to deal with several subworks associated to the same track and this was solved in the new version 2022.1.28

There’s also an infobox 🛈 in the script now to explain what syntax the script expects for the different cases above

Export Brainz ratings (to a JSON flat file) is a very interesting userscript, written by @HebPlacesAGehen:

// ==UserScript==
// @name     Export Brainz ratings
// @version  1.1
// @include  /^https://musicbrainz.org/user/\w+/ratings/recording/
// @grant    GM.getValue
// @grant    GM.setValue
// ==/UserScript==

function download(filename, text) {
	var element = document.createElement('a');
	element.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(text));
	element.setAttribute('download', filename); element.style.display = 'none';
	document.body.appendChild(element); element.click(); document.body.removeChild(element);
}
(async () => {
	let ratingDict = JSON.parse(await GM.getValue("ratings", "{}"));
	let $ratingContainers = document.querySelectorAll(".inline-rating"); for(let $ratingContainer of $ratingContainers){
		let $ratingEl = $ratingContainer.querySelector(".remove-rating");
		if(!$ratingEl){ continue }
		// Get rating
		let rating = Number.parseInt($ratingEl.text);
		// Get recordingId
		let $container = $ratingContainer.parentElement;
		let $anchor = $container.querySelector('a[href^="/recording"]');
		if(!$anchor){ continue }
		let recordingId = $anchor.href.split("/").pop(-1);
		if(recordingId){
			ratingDict[recordingId] = rating * 0.2;
			//console.log(`${recordingId} rated ${rating}`);
		}
	}
	await GM.setValue("ratings", JSON.stringify(ratingDict));
	// Get next page
	let $nextPage = document.querySelector("ul.pagination li:last-child a");
	if($nextPage){
		window.setTimeout(() => $nextPage.click(), 1000);
	} else {
		download("ratings.json", JSON.stringify(ratingDict, null, "\t"));
	}
})();

It does so much with a so small code!

I have just changed this JSON.stringify small parameter to get a more human readable download file:

--		download("ratings.json", JSON.stringify(ratingDict));
++		download("ratings.json", JSON.stringify(ratingDict, null, "\t"));

Soundcloud import userscript

I would like to share a userscript I created to import Soundcloud releases: sc-mb-importer.user.js The import button will show up on the right hand side, below the cover art. If the url already exists within MusicBrainz, the button will open that release. If you have issues, feedback, or questions, leave them here or at the github repo.

[aerozol]

Apparently this is an old script, but @SothoTalKer just added it to the userscript wiki page so I tried it out. Pretty cool!

[Tiske_Tisja]

Hi all

I would like to download this script but I dont know how. Cant find it on the Userscript Wiki Page.

[aerozol]

It’s on the ‘official’ userscript wiki page, rather than Colbydrays personal one (who still gets all the credit for making up 90% of the ‘official’ one)

Edit: Oh, maybe you couldn’t find it because I changed the name to something shorter, to not gunk up the list? Maybe I shouldn’t have done that!
It’s in there as ‘Shortcuts to external links’

[Tiske_Tisja]

Hi Aerozol

Thank you for the info. I have found it

Ps. very happy with this User Script. Thank you again

EDIT: don’t use this, see the post below

This isn’t really specific to MB but it might be helpful. I created a tiny script to remove the prompt on Tidal (specifically on listen.tidal.com, not tidal.com) that asks you to sign up/log in, so you can view credits without creating an account.

const waitFor = async selector =>

@jesus2099 pointed out to me that you can just use a Stylus userstyle instead:

This is staying installed after-all - much more useful than I thought it would be, even though it takes quite a wide chunk of the release tables!

NetEase Cloud Music Import userscript

Here’s another userscript to import NetEase (music.163.com) releases: 163-mb-importer.user.js The import button will show up next to the other action buttons, to the right of the cover art. If the URL already exists within MusicBrainz, the button will open that release. If you have issues, feedback, or questions, leave them here or at the github repo.

[jesus2099]

Some simple tasks don’t need a userscript and can be done with a user stylesheet:

@jesus2099

I made a nice script user stylesheet to HIDE RELEASE LABELS in order to free my mind.

You need to have Stylus browser extension, and then you can install.

Youtube Link Canonicalizer

Youtube channels have several different ways to link to them, but the most common one is @username. However, URLs of this type can be changed by the channel owner at any time, which leads to broken links in the database. To prevent this, you can use a channel ID to reference a channel, which this userscript makes trivial to obtain!

I made this thing

Supraphonline import script

It seeds releases from the official online catalog of the Czech Supraphon label. I just forked the murdos repo and based it on the Metal Archives importer. I’m not sure if anyone would be interested in this script, but I’ll be using (and thus testing) it extensively, fixing whatever problem comes along. I don’t intend to submit a PR until I feel like it’s reliable.

As of now, it’s capable of seeding a release with the correct number of media and tracks, and most of the release metadata. I also had to patch the mbimport.js lib with two novelties. One is the ability to set the discography entry page and the other is the ability to seed multiple release events.

I have a somewhat troubled relationship with JavaScript (I hate it), so if you see any crimes against the language or have any suggestion whatsoever, please do send me some kind of message somewhere (do we have direct messages here, or should I create a separate topic?).

No screenshot, because it doesn’t do anything flashy.
