MusicBrainz Picard is a cross-platform MusicBrainz tag editor written in Python. Picard Tagger 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. Currently development is focusing on the Linux & Windows editions as the current version of wxPython (specifically wxWidgets) has severe flaws on Mac OS X.
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.
Supported file formats:
- MP3, (ID3)
- Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Speex (Vorbis comment)
- Musepack, WavPack (APEv2 tag)
- MP4
- Windows Media Audio
MusicBrainz Picard is named after the character Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
