Greetings I have wrote a [simple tool](https://me.dovydas.xyz/bc2mb/) that gets all the available fields from any Bancamp album URL.

This app does not communicate with MusicBrainz directly so you will have to do the entries by hand (copy & paste style).

I will try to add copy buttons for each field as soon as I find the time. I hope it helps

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

You should be able to seed the release editor with the information, maybe take a look at how the popular [Bandcamp importer userscript](https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts/blob/master/bandcamp_importer.user.js) does this.

See the following document and example for how to seed the editor.

Hi @ravenravenraven, before you spend too much time coding, please have a look at [the existing bandcamp importer](https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts/blob/master/bandcamp_importer.user.js) and maybe consider contributing to it.  
I don’t know if it works good, but I guess so.

Edit: Oh, that’s exactly what @elomatreb said. Sorry.
