'''MusicBrainz Picard''' is a cross-platform (Linux/Mac OS X/Windows) application written in Python and is the official MusicBrainz [[MusicBrainz_Enabled_Applications|tagger]]. It supports the majority of audio file formats, is capable of using audio fingerprints ([[AcoustID]]s), performing CD lookups and [[Disc ID|disc ID]] submissions, and it has excellent Unicode support.
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:
* [[libofa]]: The [http://www.musicdns.org/downloads Open Fingerprint Architecture] library from [http://www.musicdns.org MusicDNS].
* [[libtunepimp]]: This [ftp://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/libtunepimp-0.5.0.tar.gz version of libtunepimp]. This version can create PUIDs, the new acousting fingerprint ID, and that is about it. To create PUIDs with the examples/puid program, you need to register for a clientID at [http://www.musicdns.org MusicDNS.org].
* python-musicbrainz2: The new Python [[python-musicbrainz2| XML web service client]], [http://users.musicbrainz.org/~matt/python-musicbrainz2-0.3.1.tar.gz version 0.3.1]
