This pages answers [[Frequently Asked Questions|FrequentlyAskedQuestions]] about [[Picard Tagger|Picard]]. |
|||
==How do I use Picard?== |
|||
See: |
|||
* [[How To Tag Files With Picard]] |
|||
* [[Picard Documentation]] |
|||
==File Formats== |
|||
===What formats does Picard support?=== |
|||
MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MP4, Musepack, WavPack, Speex, The True Audio and Windows Media Audio. However, it can calculate [[Audio Fingerprint|audio fingerprints]] only from MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and Musepack files. This applies to Picard 0.7.2 and older, since version 0.9.0 it should be able to calculate audio fingerprints from all supported file formats. |
|||
===What Formats ''will'' Picard support?=== |
|||
Picard is intended to eventually support all formats (including fingerprinting), but this is a complex process, and will take some time. |
|||
==Configuration== |
|||
===I tagged a file in Picard, but iTunes is not seeing the tags!=== |
|||
iTunes has a known bug in it's ID3v2.4 implementation, which makes it unable to read such tags if they contain also embedded cover art. As a work-around, you can configure Picard to write ID3v2.3 tags. |
|||
**Comment: If you are using iTunes on Windows XP, you might want to try selecting the songs, pressing CTRL+I, and then when the box comes up, just click OK. It seems to re-read the tags and then make it visible. Not sure why. |
|||
===How do I tell Picard which browser to use?=== |
|||
On Windows, GNOME and KDE, Picard uses the standard browser for these systems. On other systems, you can use the <code><nowiki>BROWSER</nowiki></code> environment variable. For example:<pre>export BROWSER="firefox '%s' &" |
|||
</pre> |
|||
===Why won't Picard open .mp3 files in Ubuntu?=== |
|||
After installing Picard, .mp3 files are greeyed out, while .ogg files are able to be processed. To resolve this, "libtunepimp" is needed for mp3 support. From the command line: <pre>sudo apt-get install libtunepimp5-mp3 |
|||
</pre> |
