musicbrainz-userscripts VS picard-beets-config

Here's a link to the tampermonkey scripts: https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts

Check out the Musicbrainz-UserScripts plugin repository. This is a list of scripts people have written to do various things. With them, you can

I know beets has metadata plugins for Discogs, Deezer, Spotify, and Beatport but they don't work as well as grabbing metadata from MusicBrainz so I have been using MusicBrainz UserScripts with Violentmonkey to create new MusicBrainz entries for these albums.

I'd been using Plex and Navidrome. Plex isn't bad, but Navidrome has been choking on the reg. I'd used Emby in the past and wasn't crazy about the UI. While it still isn't where I'd like it to see it, if I have to sacrifice design for response time, I'll make that trade. That isn't to say it is a terrible UI to begin with. It is more a nit pick. I love the Musicbrainz integration, but would appreciate Discogs added to that list of sites to pull metadata from. In the meantime I installed Tampermonkey and loaded this userscript to transfer metadata from Discogs to Musicbrainz.

Also, some of https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts have been handy

I'm not overly concerned about accuracy to that extent for myself, so I don't generally worry if something gets tagged as being a CD if it was actually digital media or that sort of thing, I just go with whatever's closest or most complete as long as it's got the same track lists. If you want though, you can contribute to the musicbrainz database, there's userscripts that let you import releases from Deezer (or bandcamp, discogs or a bunch of other sources) without having to enter all the data manually - I just use it if there's not a version that's close, or if the album's missing entirely, but you could always do that if you prefer your tags to be as accurate as possible!

Then scroll down and install the "Import Bandcamp releases to MusicBrainz" script from github.

I have my Picard and beets configs hosted here - https://github.com/hashhar/picard-beets-config

I spent so much time trying to get Picard's format-string to match beets.
