This script has no reviews.

The currently supported trackers are waffles.fm and what.cd. If you would like me to support your tracker, feel free to contact me at peroyo at gmail.com. Of course I can't stop you from modifying it yourself (it's licensed under WTFPL), but I would prefer if you contacted me first so I can support your tracker officially.

WaffleBrainz also supports Opera since version 0.50. The way in which this is accomplished is by using a proxy on my webspace. This is however terribly insecure, and it potentially allows me to steal your cookies/passkey. I can promise you that I won't do this of course, and my webspace is more than secure enough, but you can never be 100% sure. The script is ~10 lines of php using curl, so if your tracker of choice wants to host it locally, you're more than welcome to do so. Just throw me a mail and I'll send you the script.

If you have any other suggestions for improvement I'm all ears, just be aware that a lot of things aren't that easy to accomplish, especially since I want to continue to support Opera (my browser of choice).

Lastly, thanks a lot to musicbrainz.org for making a terrific api and a fantastic database. If you can't find your album I very much suggest you add it to musicbrainz so others can benefit from you. Just be sure to follow the rather stringent editing rules. ;)
