MusicBrainz Picard VS Album Art Downloader

Have you tried https://www.funkwhale.audio/? It can be used effectively as a "private spotify". Labeling is a solved problem thanks to https://picard.musicbrainz.org/, and the fact that a lot of the music you buy these days comes pre-labeled already. You then have a web-app (and/or a mobile app, if that's your thing) where you can stream music as you would with Spotify.

I use picard for my collection. My work flow is Picard > Lyrics Finder > Foobar for BPM, RealGain and DR > Custom python script to pull genre and mood from Last.FM and spotify> then Advanced Renamer to perform naming clean up of folder names. I lowercase and underscore spaces. Also does files if I happen to need Mp3Tag when Picard doesn't find anything. Once this is done I move files on to may NAS. Source: 5 months ago

Musicbrainz Picard - A great application that I've used in the past to identify and organize my saved music collection. It's not focused on adding semantic tags though: it's used for adding metadata to .mp3 files. Source: 5 months ago

I do the same but run it though Picard[0] before adding to Plex. [0]https://picard.musicbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Feed all of your music to something like 'musicbrainz picard' - it will sort out all the tags and provide the artwork too. Source: 10 months ago

A previous thread... If you want to download in bulk, people seem to recommend Album Art Downloader. Source: 12 months ago

You should be able to find cover art above 1000x1000 for Goo by using the program Album Art Downloader. Album Art Exchange used to be a great outlet for finding high quality cover art, but it was taken down. Source: 12 months ago

I don't know of a specific plugin, but I know myself and plenty of others use this. Https://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/ It integrates very nicely with the foo_run plugin, allowing you to call from the right click -> run services context menu. Source: 12 months ago

Best downloaded is still this : https://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/. Source: about 1 year ago

The metadata/tagging can be done while ripping with all mentioned also. Or something like Mp3tag can need used to edit them later. With Mp3tag you can also install Album Art Downloader and add it to Mp3tag as a Tool, as this post describes. Works well to lookup album art from different sources. Source: about 1 year ago
