It would be very useful if the Discogs import script was able to also import the cover art from the Discogs release page. When adding lots of releases this takes a considerable amount of time to download and then uploading the cover art.

Has this been discussed before as a possible feature? I have coding skills but wanted to reach out first before trying to add such a feature.

When going on https://sunn-live.bandcamp.com/album/sunn-o-20020809-blackbird-portland-or-usa the script can't find the release on MB, which should be https://musicbrainz.org/release/059d436c-4016-4b48-8190-215130a97cb3

MusicBrainz normalizes some URLs, like Bandcamp's, to have http instead of https, so this could be why it doesn't work in this case.

While testing http://cd1d.com/fr/album/hurlements-en-scene I've noticed tracklist was added twice in the same medium. I guess this is because of MP3/FLAC, but I'm not sure

Although I don't use the script, I've seen the problem in https://musicbrainz.org/edit/35330537

Track "2-.23 Le Carnaval" in discogs (note the incorrect ".") was apparently moved to CD 3 track 1 in https://musicbrainz.org/release/5d143526-f547-4dd6-ab06-cec6093ca0f6

When you try to import e.g. http://www.discogs.com/release/827124 the script set the medium title, but it should not.

With a import it add a comma (,) separator after every artist even if it is a single artist.
Is this default MB behaviour, or can this be changed?

Currently, the Beatport script looks for specific <td> elements that contain the text 'Release Date', 'Catalog #', and 'Label', and then uses adjacent <td> selectors to get the values that correspond to those keys. This doesn't work in non-English versions of the site, as those values are localized:

(English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese)

The order seems to be consistent, so this aspect of the script should be dumbed down and done positionally instead.

Using Firefox 41 and pretty sure I've got the latest Discogs userscript (it auto-updates). If the userscript is enabled, the artist discography search (top of the left hand column, above "Releases" etc) doesn't work. It just spins and spins when you start a search, but never loads.

Would it be possible to also compile a script that gets info from beatport?

I admit this is a fringe case, but if feat./ft./whatever-variation is included in the Extra Track Information on Discogs, it will add Feat. or & for every artist that follows that track.
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Double-Dance-Promo-Music-Service-July-2005/release/6810869
is the release in question, track 7 is what breaks the script (with Ft. in the ETI). Tracks 7-11 contained " Feat. " as the join phrase; tracks 12, 13 were correctly parsed; tracks 14, 15 had " & " as the join phrase; track 16 parsed correctly. Notice that " Feat. " is titlecase on these incorrectly parsed tracks. In all cases of incorrect Feat. or &, the join phrase was populated but a second artist line was not added.

ever since the update for URLS where they are not shown unless you hover over some icon or whatever, there is given an error with the beatport-url there, adding a space or similar makes the website recognize the url as valid.

It creates a Single type release.
It has always been there as far as I remember.

Example: http://www.discogs.com/release/1155254

and it definitely should be. I have an ancient version (https://pastee.org/ya9x2) this is really old, and needs updating, for example to add the url in the "add link" box.
Further, it does VA release pretty badly - each track is entered with trackname [some title - some artist] and the trackartist as [album artist], so this will have to be edited some before inclusion here.

When coming from main beatport pro page, the freshly displayed release doesn't have buttons.
Workaround: just reload the page.

Hey!

I think the "Import Bandcamp releases to MusicBrainz" script (don't know if the others have it, too) has an issue with the track length of imported songs. Every time I import a release to MusicBrainz, some of the songs have an extra second. Here is an example:

Release: http://audioantihero.bandcamp.com/album/five-long-years

Bandcamp:

MusicBrainz:

See the difference between the track lengths? That happens all the time (but not with all of the tracks)...

Bandcamp:

MusicBrainz:

So, any idea what's going on here?

Hi

This discogs release was not offering an import button: http://www.discogs.com/release/5460755

I found a work-around (not very good but it flags up the problem). I traced the error to one line of code in the parseDiscogsRelease function:

    // Create release if needed
    if ( !release.discs[releaseNumber-1] ) {
        release.discs.push(new Object());
        release.discs[releaseNumber-1].tracks = [];
        // Halfacandan Commented out - release.discs[releaseNumber-1].format = release_formats[releaseNumber-1];
        // Halfacandan Changes Start
        if(typeof release_formats[releaseNumber-1] === "undefined") {
            if(typeof release.discs[releaseNumber-1].tracks.format === "undefined") {           
                release.discs[releaseNumber-1].format = "CD";
            } else {
                release.discs[releaseNumber-1].format = release.discs[releaseNumber-1].tracks.format;
            }
        } else {
            release.discs[releaseNumber-1].format = release_formats[releaseNumber-1];
        }
        // Halfacandan Changes End
    }

When importing this release all track lengths on the second medium are displaced one track up, with the bottom track length being left empty.

This bug occurs with the latest update, Greasemonkey, all other userscripts disabled.

I can get other releases to load - just not for this release:

http://www.discogs.com/release/5505076

As per title, I wonder if it is because it is a box set. Tried using both Chrome (Tampermonkey) and Safari (ninjakit).

Have you decided on a license for these scripts? GPLv3? Apache 2.0? other?

FSF approved licenses: https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses
OSI approved licenses: http://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical

The idea is that when an user goes to http://randomartistorlabel.bandcamp.com/ , he can quickly see which releases have already been imported, and thus add the ones that are not. Pretty much like Discogs artist and label pages.

Every time I import a release into MBz from Discogs (using the script), at the final page (Recordings Tab), when asked to add new recording the tab/sub-page takes forever to load or never loads.

Could you change the namespace from userscripts.org to github for easier lookup ?

I also posted this on http://userscripts.org/topics/126546 but I'm not sure that is monitored.
First of all many thanks for this wonderful script it saves heaps of time and frustration.

Would it be possible to add the disc titles and release date for albums?

For instance this release, http://www.discogs.com/release/3979680 has a title for the different CD's
CD1 = Bar: Mixed By Nathan Cozzetto
CD2 = Club: Mixed By Dan Van
CD3 = After Party: Mixed By Carl Hanaghan
You have to copy those by yourself
http://musicbrainz.org/release/628d2a34-6e7d-4d...

Also the Release event Date is not populated, would that be possible?

In case of sub-tracks (eg: http://api.discogs.com/releases/5880212), current code ignores discogs tracks.

I will propose a pull request which takes the first sub-track "position" and makes things work nicely
(except that sub-tracks are not imported to musicbrainz, but musicbrainz does not handle it?)

cu

https://pro.beatport.com/release/more-over/912753

Try english vs french.

Reason: matches based on content ie. "Release" or "Release Date"

The Ajax request fails for all releases I've tried, this one for example. The wsUrl variable shows the following when opened in a browser, which should explain the failures.

{"status":"error","code":404,"message":"No result matching given argument"}

So, something up with the API probably?

Version: 2015.07.16.1
Greasemonkey: 3.2

Hello,

Encyclopedisque script still not working, I am not filing a pull request for that, but I think that fixes it. I had bug like '33 tours' object does not have method contains, so I replaces these lines by

            if (value == '45 tours') { disc.format = '7" Vinyl'; }
            if (value == '33 tours') { disc.format = '12" Vinyl'; }
            if (value == 'LP') { release.type = 'album'; }
            if (value == 'EP') { release.type = 'ep'; }
            if (value == 'SP') { release.type = 'single'; }
            if (value == 'tirage promo') { release.status = 'promotion'; }

Strange enough I must have the musicbrainz page in a tab open to the right of the beatport tab in order for the button to show. When I have the tab to the left, I need to move it to the right and reload the beatport page and the button will appear. I am using Firefox.

EDIT: have to correct myself, it just doesn't show once I searched something and clicked on the result. Only once I reload the same page.

I have been using this for ages (a day or so ago the last time I just it) but stopped working today.

I did notice that yesterday (about 18 or so hours ago) discogs was down for maintenance for a while maybe they updated/changed something.....or is it just me?

VGMdb is a high quality data source that I personally import releases manually from a lot. Would love to see a import script if there's time, thanks!

With the Bandcamp MBz Importer script active, trying to buy an album or a track fails. Clicking on the buy button emits the following in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'cfg' of undefined

Something in the script is reacting poorly with Bandcamp's popover purchase dialog.

Many independent artists (especially outside Europe and USA) use Last.fm to release their music so it would be nice to have a script to import them.
Last.fm uses release info from MusicBrainz so perhaps some kind of check to avoid roundtrips may be needed.

Today Last.fm released the new design of the site so that import script is broken.

When I try to import http://www.discogs.com/Various-Hed-Kandi-Beach-House/release/5850258
I get the following error in MB which prevents me from saving.

When a release is available in more than one format, only the first one can be imported.
Test : http://cd1d.com/fr/album/the-emperors-clothes

http://www.discogs.com/release/4281027

This is the release in question. Not seeing the import button for this release or another release from the same group. Not sure why it isn't showing up. Any thoughts?

Is there a reason why not all your userscripts aren't featured here? (like the DiscID detector)

TypeError: $ is undefined
file://gm_scripts/Import_Discogs_releases_to_MusicBrainz/36376.user.js
Line 63

Firefox 18.0.2 .. script version 2012.12.08.1

No luck, the first release I found to test your script was http://cd1d.com/fr/album/chantent-mano-solo that has 2CDs but the script tries to import it as one big medium ;-)

Discogs from now on only works on https mode, i try to remove the "s" from the https prefix so i can make the script work. this was working till now, now Discogs redirects me back to https mode, so the script not working for me anymore, any solution pls?

Hi there!

I was wondering: how tricky would it be to make a script to import releases from the FMA website?
Examples or releases:
http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Various_Artists/Of_Men_And_Machines/
http://freemusicarchive.org/music/cloud_mouth/songs_from_the_sewer/
http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Podington_Bear/Springtime/
http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Directionless_EP/

What could be parsed:

• release artist
• release title
• track titles
• track lenghts
• track artist (for both single artist and various artist releases)
• label
• license
• "download for free" link
• release date via "RELEASED" (not "UPLOADED"!)
• label via "LABEL"

Happy to work on it but I am completely new to Java so I would need some pointers...

I was just updating nikki's YouTube importer to work with the YouTube Data API v3 and thus pulled in your lib/mbimport.js to handle the ISO8601 time string. Since I pulled that in, I figured I might want to convert the script to using the form building functions as well, but alas: the library only has functions for building release add forms, not recording add ones. So here's a feature request for that. :)

URL: http://www.discogs.com/Veronicas-Hook-Me-Up/release/2736592
Error: "TypeError: MBReleaseImportHelper.buildSearchButton is not a function
Please report this error, along the current page URL."

Maybe we can do a thing so it will work with all browsers ? Here is what I did

https://gist.github.com/Xrampino/776da89853d61e355d4b

Basically I removed the fallback to Greasemonkey JS, changed the ajax request to a straightforward JSON, and changed var discogsRelease = data.data; to var discogsRelease = data;

Now it does work, but maybe it won't work anymore for Firefox, I haven't tested

Found on http://www.discogs.com/Faustm%C3%B6rder-Der-Der-Faustm%C3%B6rder/release/4348189

While it's a fairly generic store, it has some unique releases, and is one of the few offering lossless downloads for those releases.

It has a documented API: https://github.com/Qobuz/api-documentation
Also could be used to provide a link to the full-size cover art.

For my sins the majority of stuff I add to Musicbrainz is electronic stuff this often contains "featured" artists.

It would be nice if the script could add these automatically. They clearly are labeled "Featuring - "
where featuring can be " feat. " in MB.

I am sure you know what I mean but here is a typical example that I am adding at the moment.
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Shogun-Audio-Presents-2015/release/7735180

(edit: sometimes they are more complex and have featured, vocals, etc -"
http://www.discogs.com/Spectrasoul-The-Mistress/release/7208518)

Example: http://northernelectronics.bandcamp.com/album/june

The label https://musicbrainz.org/label/f6c14f30-a9a4-4bb1-8e57-5200ca081436 has http://northernelectronics.bandcamp.com/ associated.

If you didn't know already, seems like MusicBrainz made an update to the site which makes the UI Enhancements break, at least in the editing area of the site. For example, you can't move forward with the editing ability with UI Enhancements active. Disabling UI Enhancements allows for editing to work.
