This page lists tools external to MusicBrainz that make editing or viewing data more convenient. This includes programs, scripts, reports, etc from various sources.
Editing tools
User scripts / GreaseMonkey / User javascripts / UserJS
Userscripts run in a users web browser and make on-the-fly local changes to specific web pages. In MusicBrainz they are generally used to change the display of pages, often facilitating editing.
For instance, a script may add functionalities to a MusicBrainz page, or shorten repetitive actions to only one click, and so on.
Parsers
- Bandcamp, Beatport, and Local File Parsers: Parsers to be run at the command line passing in either a URL (Bandcamp release, or Beatport release), or a directory with a set of files. Require at Perl v5.10 or newer, and a differing set of Perl Modules based off the particular service. Local file parsers are format specific.
- music-metadata: JavaScript NPM module, to parse audio tracks in Node
