The challenge with that EP is attempting to recognise every sample that has been “borrowed”… :grin:

You always need bands like this around. Too much music is focused on the money. Music should educate as well as entertain.

I was scrolling through tags saved in Alistral’s DB, and found some that are used for lyrics

Anyone know how they get here? They all seem incomplete too

Anyone can add tags. Just downvote junk like that you don’t think are relevant. I assume the original tagger has a reason connected with their collection. They will still see their tag, but if others downvote it then it starts to get hidden by the GUI.

Yeah, but I’m wondering if there’s a script that add it or something. Just curious

In the past it was possible to see who added/voted tags:

If your laptop ports are broken, you can use this Hub&Dock. All you need is a free USB-C port.

You can also connect 13 devices to your smartphone. :wink:

I’m surprised a few of these aren’t already in the hall

Are You a Robot? Pass the Turing Test

Quote:
“Justin Bieber made somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion as the world’s biggest pop star, but he blew it all … and ended up being in such dire financial shape he had to sell his music catalog for $200 million.”

Now, a 10CD Box of his work will probably be released.
How many covers (not cover art) and remixes will there be …
He just needs to better manage his $200 million fortune now.

I’ve been a bit unhappy with the efficiency of my editing workflows and also lacking some features in existing scripts. So I’ve decided to finally cave in and see how useful “AI” tools would be for a JavaScript noob such as myself and I’m quite happy with the results.

I also made a couple bookmarklets myself, often based on code by others, e.g. @kellnerd.

Thanks for your efforts. I’ve also been unhappy with my efficiency and using your new scripts has helped some.

I’m still seeking help with a “paste a date” script that will paste the entire date into both fields. It’s been a couple months now I’m dealing with an extra click on a tiny arrow or some tab/enter combos. Some pages also won’t parse the date.

The JesseWeinstein one was working great until a couple months ago. I’ve been trying to get LeviOP’s tool ‘date helper’ working too, but it doesn’t work on most pages.

For now I put a couple bookmarklets people may find most useful onto my wiki page

(Some might remember my old readme who also had these and more)


Have you tried EASY_DATE yet?


PSA: There are many more scripts but I can’t announce them all because forums doesn’t allow it:

and Greaysfork rate limits new users too.

I added @chaban’s bookmarklets to the table here: External Resources - MusicBrainz Wiki

I should have checked how many there were before I started, because there are quite a lot and it took a while :stuck_out_tongue:
I tested and added descriptions where I wasn’t sure myself what a script did, some are still a bit vague though.

Which ones? Need a lengthier explanation or example uses?
