NOTICE. Be aware that some browsers (like Firefox) are pausing javascripts in inactive (background) tabs. So if you are using such a browser, remember to keep the merging tab in the foreground or the MASS MERGE will pause. If your browser does not suffer such limitation (like Opera, the best brwoser in the universe), never mind this notice. ;p

MASS RECORDINGS MERGE YAY

If you want to merge all tracklist orrelease A’s recordings into tracklist orrelease B’s recordings (for instance B is the original of a pseudo release A with different recordings):

  1. go to B tracklist orrelease page
  2. paste tracklist orrelease A’s URL in sidebar’s Mass merge recordings
  3. now you can either merge all found recordings or merge a selection of recordings*

(*) You can click any Merge button at anytime, no need to wait for current merge to end, all clicks will be queued (you can clear queue at anytime).

This userjs solves Allow editors to merge mediums / tracklists + recordings (MBS-3136) and Allow merging all recordings between releases (MBS-2425).

  1. accept recording/mbid URLs for only one rec to merge at startpos
  2. fill remTracks to allow changing startpos without refetching remote recordings (replace my local version’s tempHack)
