I have tons of music which are not in MB’s database, but I can see them in Spotify. Is there a sharable copy and paste plugin which could fetch info from Spotify?

Check out the following but I have not used it myself.

hi - tried it, but did not get how it works. Please share the basic steps?
I have copied the py code into the plugin folder but MB does not see it…

This is not a plugin supposed to be used with Picard. It’s a script supposed to be run from the command line to submit the data to MusicBrainz itself.

basic steps should be something like:
> git clone [Freso / spotify2musicbrainz · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/Freso/spotify2musicbrainz.git)
> cd spotify2musicbrainz
> pip3 install -r requirements.txt
> python3 spotify2musicbrainz.py URL

There’s also a topic for the script on these forums:

> Hello! I mentioned some time ago that I was working on a couple of scripts to help feed data into MusicBrainz. The first of these is actually usable now: Once you’ve downloaded it and installed its dependency, you can call it using ./spotify2musicbrainz.py spotify:album:0QScw4gpLu1w9au1Mcf3FL (replacing the Spotify URI at the end with the one for the album you want to add). It’s still in very early development, but hey, “release early, release often”. This is at least the “release early” par…
– feel free to ask questions there too. 😉 (Note that the script currently doesn’t work, as it doesn’t authenticate. I will upload a new version with credentials tonight or this weekend.)

@ertert, I think the discussion, including script availability has been moved to the link that @Freso posted above.
