The project code-named '''Picard''' is the next generation MusicBrainz tagging application. This new tagging concept is [[Release]] oriented, as opposed to track oriented like the [[Classic Tagger|ClassicTagger]] was. Picard is written in Python, which is a cross-platform language - this allows the same code to run both on Windows and on Linux. Before too long we will add Mac OS X support as well. See also the [https://musicbrainz.helixcommunity.org project page on helixcommunity.org] for more details. This version of Picard was built using [[libofa]], a preliminary version of [[libtunepimp]] and the Python XML Webservice binding:
