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. WAVs cannot be tagged due to the lack of a standard for doing so; but can be fingerprinted and renamed. |
|||
===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. |
|||
===Which tags can Picard write to my files?=== |
|||
See [[Picard Tags|PicardTags]] for information on which [[MusicBrainz]] fields get written to tags by Picard. |
|||
==Configuration== |
|||
===I tagged a file in Picard, but iTunes is not seeing the tags!=== |
|||
Firstly, you need to force iTunes to re-read the information from your tags and update its library. This is discussed in the [[i Tunes Guide|iTunesGuide]]. |
|||
Additionally, iTunes has a known bug in its 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. |
|||
===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 greyed 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> |
