You need to enter the album url on Harmony, that's a URL for the track

oh right lmao

i barely use Spotify

it grabs HoYoFair as the label on Harmony when I use the album link

Yeah, sounds like a [no label] case

I'm mixed on that one so I won't object

alright

oh wow, Spotify links return much more data, or am I just getting confused?

im guessing this is related to the GTIN

Yeah, sounds right

Sometimes other sites have GTIN too, but Spotify's the most reliable in my experience

hm, I'll prefer it more and look for Spotify links from now on

can't miss my precious metadata :p

Check out https://lioncat6.github.io/SAMBL/, lets you put in a Spotify artist URL and then lists releases with links to Harmony

fuck, I gotta make an MB bookmark tab for this stuff

that's crazy

Wait til you see https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Guides/Userscripts :P

oh, wow

i have Violentmonkey installed, could add a few of these

there's way too much stuff here lol

Hmm, important ones, off the top of my head: Enhanced Cover Art Uploads, Display shortcuts for relationships, funkey illustrated records… Iand whatever I forgot, I have a lot installed

I think most MB editors, who are quite active, do

holy

I have 1 script installed lmao

are genres supposed to go to the release group or the release

they can go anywhere

i feel like they should propagate from rg to release

or vice versa

to me it makes the most sense at release group and recording levels

i agree

> Display shortcuts for relationships

cant find this one on the userscripts page

'sample-free slushwave' is a definite no as a genre right?

it doesn't mean there's no sample relationships it just means the samples were made by the same artists or another artist that knows it was going to be used as such

Guest24: a few of those scripts are off all the time unless i have to use them, and a few of them are my own that i'm still working on, but yeah most of them are on all the time

it's definitely a rabbit hole :D

Sorry, ‘display shortcuts for relationships’ is called “Shortcuts to external links”

re. genres, if you are going on a big genre submission mission I would recommend flaky’s “Submit Folksonomy Tags” Picard plugin, if you want to tag all the recordings etc of an artist. Easier to tag your files in your player or Picard, and then submit them from there

In terms of MB updates I have made two suggestions/tickets to help propagate genres across “levels” - other ideas always welcome

MBS-13462: Suggest/propagate genre tags from level above (artist > rg > release)

MBS-13792: Allow users to apply genre tags to multiple levels at once (artist + rg + release etc)

I am in favour of automatically pulling genres to different levels - this was discussed at the last summit (see topic “Genres Across MetaBrainz”), but no concrete actions came out of the discussion: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2024/10/30/metabrai...

In particular having “release group” and “release” tags all be the same got a general consensus. But again, no concrete plans
