Thanks for the recs!
Step by step userscript install, drafted before Zas did his… oh well
-
Install Tampermonkey for Chrome or Greasemonkey for Firefox
-
Install the script from Github, from Murdos script page: https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts
Then click on: bandcamp_importer.user.js
Then click on ‘Raw’ on the right, above the code.
Now your Tampermonkey plugin should recognize the code and allow you to install it.
In your screenshot it seems like you don’t have Tampermonkey installed or you are running in incognito mode which probably disables it?
- Visit a Bandcamp album or single page, and after the page has loaded, an ‘import’ button will load. From here on in it’s all pretty straightforward!
The other useful feature is a ‘Original Image’ link will appear below the album image. Bandcamp resizes images over a certain size, this link will take you to the original.
Script 101:
Userscripts are just code that can be set to run on pages after they’ve loaded. You can use them to do simple stuff like change the font size on a website, or really complicated stuff. They’re often just used by communities to make websites easier to navigate or to add features.
If you have security concerns make sure to check the top of the code for this:
@include
Any url’s after that text is where the script will run. If it has this:
@include www.yourbank.com/*
…it’s probably not good.
You can also use @exclude to stop it from running on certain pages.
You don’t have to worry about MusicBrainz scripts, but something to keep in mind if you decide you’d like to use a script to help you play a browser based game or something like that in the future!
