HD Tracks Importer Script?

Here you go! In addition to the release editor on MusicBrainz you can also seed @kepstin’s MagicISRC with the ISRCs from HDtracks:

murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts/blob/master/hdtracks_importer.user.js

// ==UserScript==

Please install it from the above page (by clicking the Raw button) and give it some testing to see if it works as expected for you (before I will submit a PR to include it in murdos’ repository where most of the other importers have their home). I have only tested the userscript without having an account there, so let me know if it behaves different for logged in users.

There were also some decisions I had to made on which I would like to hear your thoughts:

Link type: purchase for download (you can’t stream music there, can you?)
Release country: empty (definitely not worldwide, see screenshot above)
Script: Latin (I have seen nothing else, not even for K-Pop releases I had a look at)
Disambiguation: e.g. 192kHz/24bit
Annotation: (C) & (P) copyright lines, release credits (unclear to which tracks they apply)
→ both could also be copied from the page manually
