MusicBrainz links for albums
Would links to MusicBrainz album entries be good resources to add to albums? I know a lot of artists have links to their MusicBrainz pages but I don't see any for albums.

Whar would be the point? There's almost never any info there that there isn't here and when there is it can just be filled in here.

A big plus for me personally is MusicBrainz has much better options for tagging. FreeDB only gives limited options and can be harder to use depending on the tagging program you use, while MusicBrainz gives multiple options for tagging outside of TOC lookup (the big one being fingerprint scanning) and can give more metadata that either isn't exposed by the FreeDB interface (artist credits per track, record label, barcode) or just isn't stored on VGMdb (ISRCs). I know this isn't the focus of VGMdb but it is still a nice thing to have for users.
It can also be used to look up non-videogame/anime relationships and non-artist/album relationships in general. For example: looking for instances of a recording or song in other releases easily. |

Necrobump, but I made a script to automatically grab links to Musicbrainz entries for releases if they exist.
https://github.com/ToadKing/vgmdb-us...-links.user.js It tries to look up releases based on barcode (if the release has one) or if there's aa VGMdb link attached to it. It even highlights the link if the Musicbrainz entry has one of the barcode or VGMdb link, but not both. |

I originally was going to do that but that box doesn't appear if there's no websites linked for an album. So instead of trying to find the correct place to insert into I just made a new section for them.

Pushed an update to the script a couple days ago. It now also searches through album notes for barcodes in there to look up. Useful for cases like digital albums where other regions/hires releases have different barcodes noted in the album notes.

Edit: Nevermind, for some reason reinstalling it fixed it, even though I never touched the script. Must be because I switched browsers. |
