@jesus2099 thanks for creating this topic!
Let me show a script I published recently and that probably nobody knows about
Show acoustids on a Work page
Description: Add two new columns with acoustID/acousticBrainz links of the recordings.
AcoustID shared by different recordings related to the work in question will be shown in a specific color. This makes it easy to find recordings that should be merged (same performer/recording artist, same acoustID).
Combining it with the “make columns sortable” script makes it even easier to detect the duplicate recordings
Another old script that I thought of creating a topic for posting an animated GIF that may help understand how it works (the GIF can be replaced by a better one, later):
mb. MASS MERGE RECORDINGS
Merges selected or all recordings from release A to release B
This is a useful popup to insert some frequent special characters (like apostrophe, curly quotes, etc.) in all MusicBrainz text boxes (titles, artists, etc.).
Just press Ctrl+m and voilà ! (it’s a French script)
Download on bitbucket
Launches a recordings merge operation from an acoustid.org track page: just select the recordings and click the “launch merge” button.
I needed this script because I often want to merge recordings based on a common acoustID (and other evidence as same durations, same performers, same label, etc.). When the recordings are all linked to a Work, I use my Show acoustids on a Work page script that will merge only recordings already linked to the work. If it not the case, this script should be useful, for example when a lot of different versions/arrangements of the work exist.
Did you not mistake title here?
Shouldn’t it be Merge recordings from acoustID page, instead?
Even if not merge soon, I suggest a cool feature.
As you are loading recording data already, maybe you could show which have pending edits?
With the URL you’re fetching (https://musicbrainz.org/ws/js/entity/<mbid>), you can see "editsPending": true, if it’s the case.
Bear that in mind if you want to share an artist link with right‐click/copy, you will get the modified URL.
If many people prefer that the script does not modify the URL when right‐clicking, please comment in this ticket.
※ I will soon stop using greasyfork and openuserjs mirrors
Brilliant! Doesn’t seem to work for me at the moment though? Edit: It works, just not when I click on your forum link for some reason
While I have your brilliant mind handy, how hard would it be to indicate whether there are various artist releases somewhere before clicking the link? Like you’ve done with the cover art tab (tells you how many images are there before clicking).
That might be useful for people adding podcasts on MB.
Description: from an existing recording page, create a new release of Broadcast type containing only this recording (i.e. follow the official guideline for podcasts).
(see the “create broadcast release” button on the bottom right)
You should be able to just validate the “add release” edit, since all fields should be prefilled correctly: same release title and artists as the recording, track with the same title and same artist, using the preexisting recording (also copy the “streamed for free” link if existing)
An often asked-for script: clone relationships from one recording to some others in the release editor.
Description:
Select the recordings you want with the usual checkboxes (including the one you want to copy from), enter the index number of the recording you want to copy from (by default the 1st one), and click “Clone relations”.
I’ve got two userscripts to share with you all today.
Bulk copy-paste work identifiers
Quickly import work identifiers (ISWC, agency work codes) from ISWCNet.
Description
ISWCNet is a great resource to find a bunch of work identifiers, but copy-pasting all of them into the work edit page is quite the chore. No more! When installed, it’ll add a button to each work in ISWCNet’s search results, and a button to each work edit/create page in MusicBrainz. Click the button on ISWCNet, switch to the edit page, click the button there, and spend the time you saved in other useful ways.
At the moment, the script does not sanitise any IDs, but it does internally normalise them to check for duplicates.
Currently, it can only copy data from ISWCNet, but other repertoires can be added.
The script is fairly conservative, and will ask for confirmation whenever it detects that there are IDs in MB that aren’t on ISWCNet.
Once the button is clicked, the copied data is cleared and cannot be repasted without copying it again. This is intentional, to prevent accidentally reusing data on other work pages.
Display CAA image dimensions
This script has been such a godsend that I honestly forgot that it was a userscript and not built into MB. Displays the dimensions of images on CAA inline, underneath each image.
To get these dimensions, the script loads the full-size images in the background. This can be a burden on your network, especially for pages with many images, so loading is deferred until the first time the image is visible on the page (i.e., it won’t load until you scroll to it). In addition, loading is aborted as soon as the dimensions are known, so effectively, only a small portion of the full-size image should actually be transferred for it to work.
A script that allows you to print your collection on paper sheets, nicely.
Ideal for second hand shops, feal markets, with your what you already own list, in hands:
Announcing not one, not two, but three new userscripts that went live just a little while ago.
1. Supercharged Cover Art Edits
Have you ever noticed the vast amount of empty space on the right hand side of cover art edits? It’s free real estate. Let’s use it to supercharge voting on cover art edits!
Features
Displays handy release information (status, packaging, format) on cover art edits, so you can easily check whether a medium scan is added to a digital media release, a square front cover is added to a digipak, or any sort of cover art is added to a pseudo-release.
Displays other images inline next to the new or removed image, facilitating checking an image against the rest of the images without opening the cover art tab. Immensily powerful on cover art removals: Check whether a matching replacement image exists without opening other tabs!
Can show a pop-up dialog enabling more detailed comparison between two images, either side-by-side, or in overlay mode (hover over the images to switch between two versions).
Makes use of resemble.js to calculate similarity between two images and highlight differences, making spotting even the most subtle differences in images child’s play.
Generating the similarity and differences can be quite expensive, so it’s not done automatically, and requires clicking it when you need it. It’s normal for it to lock up your browser a bit. I have some ideas to make it more responsive, but that would require technologies that aren’t widely supported in browsers yet.
While voting on edits here, I began to notice potential bias in my reviews. There are often edits where I see a familiar name as the editor and think “Well I’ve never seen this person do a bad edit of this type before, so most likely this one will be fine too and I don’t have to check in depth as much as I usually do.” I decided to try to eliminate some of this bias, so I wrote this little script. It blinds out the editor’s name on open edits on which you have not voted, as well as the names of voters and the votes cast so far (to prevent peer pressure). Whenever you select a vote, the details are unblinded. I’m not sure whether it will provide a better or more reliable voting experience, but it’s a fun experiment nonetheless. Install here.
Since I’m probably the root cause of the rise in work attributes because of the work code importer, when I saw MBS-11535 and MBS-11537, I felt it to be my duty to provide a userscript as a temporary workaround. Not much else to say here, it does what it says it does Should work on every page where work attributes are displayed. Install here.
