Is there a way to evaluate such files by script so the ISRC values are automatically added to the respective recordings?

Well, I looked through the resources at https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ISRC#Resources and none of those will do what I need without an extra amount of typing or copy/pasting (Windows user).

kepstin’s MagicISRC in conjunction with mb_MASS-ISRC.user.js makes pasting multiple lines of ISRCs a breeze. But it sounds like that’s not exactly what you are after.

@Griomo run into a similar problem

Thanks @chaban, I think it’s what they need.

I have updated that wiki page now @jorgosch you should take this URL instead (master version, not blob), otherwise the script will not auto update to new versions: https://github.com/jesus2099/konami-command/blob/master/mb_MASS-ISRC.user.js

With this user script installed, go to magicisrc, paste your release URL, copy your bunch of continuous ISRC, go to first track that you have an ISRC for and paste.

Make sure you skip tracks with no ISRC.
Some CD have tracks without ISRC. For those you should paste by continuous blocks. For instance if there are tracks 2.4 and 3.2 without ISRC, you should paste 3 blocks : one for tracks 1.1~2.3, one for tracks 2.5~3.1 and one for tracks 3.3~last track.

I installed the script, went to magicisrc, copied and pasted my cue sheet and nothing happened. That’s what my initial question was about.

Even when I copy the ISRC from the ISRC tag via foobar like this

USSM11406054; USSM11406055; USSM11406056; USSM11406057; USSM11406058; USSM11406059; USSM11406060; USSM11406061; USSM11406062; USSM11607528; USSM11607529; USSM11607530; USSM11607531; USSM11607532

it only fills the field of the first track.

Ach. Could you tell me here or in a ticket, what are your browsers, OS, user script engine and release URL?
And the error found in the JavaScript console, just if possible.

I’ll be happy to help you troubleshoot your script, but please not in this thread. Here I would like to stay on topic “How to extract info from cue sheets”.

That’s what the script does, check out its global regular expression, for extracting ISRCs from any text blurb:

/\b[A-Z]{2}\-?[A-Z0-9]{3}\-?[0-9]{2}\-?[0-9]{5}\b/g

I have added a heading and trailing \b in the line above, it is even better than the script version.


For the record, I have just tested your cue sheet on Firefox for Android with Violentmonkey: it worked in kepstin’s magicisrc.
So it’s supposed to work, on PC and mobile.

Works on MS Edge with Tampermonkey FYI :wink:

I’ve just tried again and it doesn’t seem to work. Palemoon and Greasemonkey for Palemoon. Since it works for you guys, it must be a case of the stupids on my side. This should be as easy as copying the whole cuesheet contents and pasting it into the first field at magicisrc, right? (After selecting an MBID and logging in, of course…)

I also just tried with Edge and Tampermonkey. I can log on to my account but the magicisrc site will not load any MBID. Weird.

Old Edge version did not work with magicisrc, it’s only ok with Edge based on Chromium :wink:

That works. Shame that Palemoon doesn’t…

The “mass-add-ISRC” script works like a charm. It is a pity I have spent a lot of time entering ISRC manually, not being aware of this script.

Maybe @reosarevok could add a reference to The Classical Editor Toolbox?
