The MusicBrainz Tagger

The MusicBrainz tagger application 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 tagger also allow you to specify how and where to write cleanly tagged files to your hard drive.

  • The cross platform (Linux/Unix and Windows) release oriented tagger that supports the 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!

3rd Party Taggers

  • This is a Windows tagger for the MP3 file format that sponsors MusicBrainz. It uses a built-in excerpt of the MusicBrainz core data to speed up the identification process. This tagger has been optimized to automatically identify music files by using an advanced dynamic offline and online music identification algorithm. This includes consideration of different naming patterns and similarities, various artist albums, compilation discs, known common misspellings and more.

  • This cross platform tagger supports acoustic fingerprinting (PUID), meta-matching on a track by track basis, iTunes integration, full unicode support, lyrics and cover art matching. 30 fields can be automatically updated from MusicBrainz, and it supports most audio formats.

Deprecated Taggers

  • 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. It is no longer supported, and server features it depends on may be withdrawn.

  • Tagger for Mac OS X that integrates with your iTunes library. This uses the old acoustic fingerprinting standard (TRM) which is phased out in favor of PUID.

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.
