MusicBrainz Picard is a cross-platform MusicBrainz tag editor written in Python. Picard is intended to be the next generation of tagger for MusicBrainz, with a focus on album oriented tagging as opposed to track based tagging and cross platform compatibility.
Since version 0.7.0, MusicBrainz Picard supports automatic identifying of audio files through the MusicDNS service using the Open Fingerprint Architecture acoustic fingerprinting technology.
Version 0.9.0 is a complete rewrite of the MusicBrainz Picard codebase, motivated by switch from wxPython to PyQt and Mac OS X support.
Supported file formats:
- MP3, TTA (ID3)
- Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Speex (Vorbis comment)
- Musepack, WavPack, OptimFROG, Monkey's Audio (APEv2 tag)
- AAC, ALAC (MP4)
- Windows Media Audio
- WAV
MusicBrainz Picard is named after the character Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
