MusicBrainz Picard
Picard the Next Generation MusicBrainz Tagger
The PicardTagger is the next generation MusicBrainzTagger. This version of the tagging application is album oriented, as opposed to track oriented as the old tagger was. This new application is also cross platform, which means the same code runs on Windows and on Linux. Before too long we will add Mac OS X support as well. The PicardTagger will implement most of the PicardTaggerImprovements. See also the project page https://musicbrainz.helixcommunity.org/ for more details on Picard.

Picard Documentation
There is an illustrated page describing HowToTagFilesWithPicard. For more information see the PicardTaggerDocumentation.
Running Picard on Linux
On Linux, make sure to set your BROWSER environment variable to point to your browser. Mine looks like:
BROWSER="firefox '%s' &"
If your application freezes when the browser is active, make sure you have the & at the end of the BROWSER variable. If your browser takes you to a wrong page, make sure you have single quotes around your %s (e.g. '%s' ).
Also be sure to check out PicardLinuxInstall page for more help.
