Picard, the Next-Generation MusicBrainz Tagger
| File:picard070 thumb.jpg |
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 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 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 Open Fingerprint Architecture library from MusicDNS.
- libtunepimp: This 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 MusicDNS.org.
- python-musicbrainz2: The new Python XML web service client, version 0.3.1
A lot of these releases are still quite rough. We'll be adding more documentation and cleaning things up in the coming days.
