A new MusicBrainz user script was released

[ROpdebee]

Yes, adding a-tisket links to an already existing release was an example which I ran into frequently and was the main reason I created the script, but it works for any collection of links. Apologies for taking a while to answer, I was busy with other cool stuff. On that topic…

Enhanced Cover Art Uploads

Well, not really a new script, in fact, many of you will have it installed already The userscript formerly known as Prince, uh, “Upload to CAA from URL” has been reborn as “Enhanced Cover Art Uploads” as its feature set now far exceeds what it used to do, and the title didn’t do it justice anymore. In a nutshell:

• ImageMaxURL has been integrated into the userscript, so if you paste a URL, it will attempt to transform it into the largest possible version.
• It’s now enabled on a-tisket and adds a link to the covers displayed on a-tisket to automatically send it to the script (saves you a couple of steps in uploading cover art from a-tisket’s post-submit screen).
• You can now paste links to Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Bandcamp, and Discogs, and it will search for covers in those pages and add them to the upload queue. Where possible, types are filled as well. Supported providers are documented here, and here’s a list of providers that aren’t available yet, but will be added in the future. I’ve definitely missed some popular ones, so let me know if there’s any others that you’d like to see added.
• If you dislike copying and pasting, there are also buttons! Specifically, URLs to supported providers that are attached to the release get a button for one-click image import. It looks like this:
  
  
  
  So if you’ve got a release that’s linked to a Discogs release which has 43 images, all it takes is a single button click to add them all to the upload queue!

There is a bit of a caveat, though: To enable these changes, I had to significantly overhaul the script. I won’t go into too much technical details, but I made some changes that make it a lot easier for me to write the code, while still ensuring maximum compatibility with older browsers. As a result, the URL to the script itself has changed, so there is a possibility you might need to reinstall it, depending on your userscript engine and browser. It auto-updated fine during my testing, but YMMV. The current version is 2021.9.21. You might also notice that the script is now “minified” and just looks like random garbage, that’s completely normal and intended as a result of the development changes.

The new installation link is here: Install, source code

Finally, I’ve created a separate topic for support/feedback/questions/suggestions on this script and all of my others, which you can find here:

ROpdebee's userscripts support thread

Consider this thread a support thread for any userscript created by me. Questions, feedback, problems and bug reports most welcome here! For reference: The userscript repository Issue tracker

I’ll also be using that topic to post about smaller enhancements to other scripts when they arrive, so make sure to subscribe to it if you’re using any of my userscripts.

Freaking awesome!!! Wow. So many clicks saved.

Agreed - just tried this out on some older vinyl that usually only appear on discogs… Wow! Amazing job!

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 data and legal information from the given text. Assists the user to create release-label relationships for these. Caches name to MBID mappings, so you don’t have to select the same label twice. I have also created a GitHub wiki page for this userscript to collect different copyright notice formats. @tigerman325 has been a great help with testing and finding thes…

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 MBIDs 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). Batch Add Parts Of Series Batch-adds entities as parts of the currently edited series. Automatically extracts numbers from titles and uses them as relat…

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.

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.

@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.
