Description
Add artists and albums from MusicBrainz to Lidarr in one click. Lidarr for MusicBrainz adds an "Add to Lidarr" button to artist, release-group, and release pages on musicbrainz.org. One click sends the entity straight to your self-hosted Lidarr instance using the standard lidarr:<mbid> lookup, so the metadata always lines up. Designed for people who curate their own music library and use MusicBrainz as the source of truth. — FEATURES — • One-click add for artists (/artist/<mbid>) and albums (/release-group/<mbid>). • Bulk-add a whole discography section. On any artist page, every section heading (Album, EP, Single, Album + Live, Other, …) gets a small "+ Add all N" badge. Click and the badge live-updates: "Adding 4/11…" → "✓ 8 added · 2 in library · 1 missing". • Right-click any MusicBrainz link on any page (Reddit, Discord, blogs, MB discography lists) and pick "Add to Lidarr" without navigating to it first. The toolbar popup auto-opens with a live status banner; the toolbar icon shows a colored badge while the request is in flight. • Release pages (/release/<mbid>) are automatically resolved to their parent release-group. • The button checks your Lidarr library on page load. If the entity is already there, it shows "In Lidarr" with a deep link instead of offering to re-add. • A Chrome notification fires after each successful add so you can keep browsing MusicBrainz. • The toolbar popup shows your last 10 additions with quick links back to Lidarr. • Works against any Lidarr URL — LAN IPs, Tailscale, reverse proxies. Host permission is requested at runtime only for the URL you configure. • Light and dark mode follow your system preference. — SETUP — 1. Click the extension icon and open Settings. 2. Enter your Lidarr base URL (e.g. http://10.1.0.100:8686) and API key (Lidarr → Settings → General → Security). 3. Click Test connection and approve the host-permission prompt. 4. Pick your default Quality profile, Metadata profile, and Root folder. 5. Save. Visit a MusicBrainz page and click "Add to Lidarr". — PRIVACY — The extension only talks to two services: musicbrainz.org (to detect the page and resolve releases to release-groups) and your own Lidarr instance (everything else). Your settings and recent-additions list live in your local Chrome storage. Nothing is sent to any third party. The source code is open and easy to audit. — OPEN SOURCE — MIT-licensed.
