There are many plugins available for Picard. A number of these are written by the Picard developers, however many are written by users and enthusiasts. If you are having issues with a plugin, please check the [http://forums.musicbrainz.org/ forums] for answers and ask any questions.

==Installation==
To install a plugin:
# download .py file(s)
# create a 'plugins' directory (if not existing already) under
## Windows: either <code><nowiki>C:\Program Files\Musicbrainz Picard\plugins</nowiki></code> (for default Picard application folder) or <code><nowiki>%APPDATA%\MusicBrainz\Picard\plugins</nowiki></code>
## *Nix: either Picard application directory/plugins or <code><nowiki>~/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins</nowiki></code>
## OSX: Follow These Steps:
### Open a Terminal (can be found in: <code><nowiki>Applications/Utilities/Terminal</nowiki></code>)
### type <code><nowiki>mkdir -p $HOME/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins</nowiki></code> (needs to be done only once)
### type <code><nowiki>open $HOME/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins</nowiki></code> to display the folder in finder. Now move the plugins there.
## Please note that some plugins need to be placed inside a separate subdirectory specific to the plugin. See the 'Notes' column below to see if this is required for the particular plugin you are installing.
# Move downloaded .py file(s) to 'plugins' directory
# Enable the plugin. Check the box beside the individual plugin in the plugins menu, which can be found at
## Windows/*Nix: Options Menu >> Options... >> Plugins
## OSX: MusicBrainz Picard >> Preferences >> Plugins

$if($eq2(%artist%,foo,bar,baz),$set(engineer,test))
|| [[User:BrianFreud| Brian Schweitzer]] || 0.12+ || No ||[http://hotfile.com/dl/111073105/173b6ae/in2.py.zip.html here] || See [http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=2631 forum post] for details.

Usage:
$p(%something%)
$p(%something%, True)
The second argument is optional. By default, it is set to False. When set to True, unofficial Unicode scripts (i.e. ConScript, etc.) are also checked.

=== Context Menu Items ===
Note that not all plugins will add options to the "Plugins" section of the right click context menu you get on tracks, files and clusters. Plugins in the above list that do not add a context menu item should work automatically on all new metadata that is loaded into the right-hand pane, once they are enabled in the options.
