The MusicBrainz Taggers

The MusicBrainz tagger applications allow you to automatically look up the releases/tracks in your music collection and then write clean metadata tags (ID3 tags, Vorbis comment fields, etc.) to your files. The taggers also allow you to specify how and where to write cleanly tagged files to your hard drive. MusicBrainz supports two tagging applications currently:

  • The new cross platform (Linux and Windows) release oriented tagger that supports the new acoustic fingerprinting standard (PUID), mp3, wav, vorbis, flac, mpc, mp4 and wma formats. Picard has excellent UNICODE support -- if you require non ISO-8859-1 tags in your files, use Picard!

  • This is our classic tagger that supports the old acoustic fingerprinting standard (TRM), wav, mp3, flac and vorbis formats. This tagger is track oriented, has limited UNICODE support and runs on Windows only. This version will stop working at the end of 2006! We are migrating everything to Picard.

Additionally, there is a tool which allows to add DiscIDs to releases (The tagger applications above support this feature as well).

  • Designed to allow users the ability to lookup and contribute metadata for Audio CDs.
