Script using GreaseMonkey extensions, requiring GM, TamperMonkey or other GM clone, tested on Firefox, Chrome, Opera on Windows, Linux and Tampermonkey as script manager. On other platforms, browsers or script managers may not work.
Additional setup - to read audio player's playlist, custom copy format must be set:foobar2000's native copy command: File > Preferences > Display > Classic User Interface > Title Formatting > Copy command, or Text Tools plugin quick copy command

Note: Text Tools plugin substitutes linebreaks by underscores, making it ambiguous to restore original comment (remap_texttools_newlines=true for backward substitution), that's why using standard copy command is more reliable.
[Optional] More setup for proper transfer of secondary metadata:
In %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\LargeFieldsConfig.txt (requires restart)
- increase basicMetaMax to 16384 or more
- add fieldBasic=comment
- remove fieldSpam=ITUNES_CDDB_1
Script already fills form with minimal set of required tags (album, artist, title, tracknumber), but requires additional edits. Accuracy and completeness of description improves with increasing amount of expectably filled relevant tags, especially RELEASEDATE/RETAIL DATE, LABEL/PUBLISHER, CATALOG/CATALOGNUMBER, GENRE/STYLE, COUNTRY, URL (for lineage, online integrity check & cover art), COMMENT/DESCRIPTION (for additional album description), MEDIA/SOURCE/FORMAT, RELEASETYPE, COMPILATION (otherwise guessed from various parameters, not reliable), ALBUM DYNAMIC RANGE, DISCNUMBER, DISCSUBTITLE (for multivolume albums). Beyond naming volumes script uses DISCSUBTITLE also for grouping of classical works and logical units within playlist (usually on extensive anthologies).

Fetching from online sources in most cases works out of the box, except these services:
Tidal requires user account, script's user prefs to set: tidal_userid and tidal_userpassword.
Available online resources for metadata lookup (in particular order): Spotify, MusicBrainz, Apple Music, Deezer, Discogs, Qobuz, Tidal, Supraphonline, Beatsource, TraxSource, Last.fm
Available online resources for cover lookup (in particular order): Deezer, Qobuz, Apple Music, Tidal, MusicBrainz, Netease, Discogs, Beatsource, Last.fm, Google Play Music. Services used for lookup and order of querying can be customized via cover_lookup_providers storage entry (defaults to all).
User customization is accessible via GM local storage, no own UI for now (use userscripts control panel to access the complete list of preferences).
How to access user configuration for Tampermonky: Run the script at least once by letting it fill form, then open the script in editor and switch to storage tab (quick way - open upload page, click TM toolbar icon, right click UA)
Enhancements to web form:
cleanup_descriptions preferenceops_always_edition to falseRelease integrity checking online is performed only for inputs from local files metadata. What is compared: title, main artist, playlist (track names, track artists and durations). Playlist size and overall duration is compared as well. This background check helps to prevent uploading incomplete/damaged albums, or releases that have messed up tracklist. Can be disabled by user pref check_integrity_online.
Requires valid URL tag to supported website (if missing, script tries to look up album in stores, but may fail case by case, eg. commute album and single of the same name)
Existing torrents and open requests matching upload are looked up for new upload and request, and should workaround the known Gazelle unicode search bug. Is on by default, to suppress it set find_relations to false.
Site log lookup is performed for new upload to advise of possible previous fails of the same release and is on by default, to suppress it set check_logs to false.
Bulky images auto downsizing is on by default. Related preferences:image_size_warning states size threshold in KiB (defaults to 2MB) which exceeded invokes a reminder,image_size_reduce_threshold states size threshold in KiB (defaults to 4MB), which exceeded invokes image auto-reduction (downsizing and recompressing to JPEG90). Active only for cover image input, report proof input, user avatar and with working PTPimg account, not in long descriptions. More refinements: image_reduce_maxheight(1500), image_reduce_jpegquality(90).
Known issues:
- Progress meter for locally sourced uploads doesn't work on current browsers, which is kind of Tampermonkey limitation or bug.
- Violentmonkey (+GM) problems with names hoisting possibly resolved, report fails if any remaining
