Musicbrainz scripts

Collection of greasemonkey scripts I wrote for MusicBrainz display and editing.

Contact me for bug reports/suggestions/patches: loujine on github, loujin on Musicbrainz (sadly 'loujine' was already taken)

Compatibility

Scripts are tested with the latest stable version of Firefox and Tampermonkey. They should work with most recent browsers and with ViolentMonkey, but are not compatible with Greasymonkey 4 since December 2017.

Historical note: this repo was first a mercurial repo on bitbucket (mirrored as a git repo on github); now that bitbucket has removed mercurial support, github is the home of the repo and the bitbucket repo is outdated.

Historical note 2: scripts were also hosted on Greasyfork but were removed there in summer 2020. If you installed scripts through Greasyfork, make sure they can update to versions using github in @updateURL or reinstall them.

Content

Documentation was moved to a wiki.

Discussions on these scripts sometimes take place on the musicbrainz forums.
