MusicBrainz Picard Reviews and details

• The Open Music Encyclopedia

  Make sure to checkout Picard: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ Which uses the MusicBrainz DB to auto tag and correct audio file names. Makes it really easy to organize a large collection of (pirated) audio. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• So, how do you get music for your self-hosted server?

  This should help substantially: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• "Unacceptable": Spotify bricking Car Thing devices in Dec. without refunds

  No need to use the server, Navidrome allows any client to connect remotely (WAN included) and play music that is hosted on the server. It also can be set up to transcode on the fly uncompressed music when it is accessed from a metered connection to minimize bandwidth usage. I barely scratched its surface, but it looks promising. The only requirement is that it needs the correct metadata to identify songs and... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Mp3tag – The Universal Tag Editor

  I highly recommend Musicbrainz Picard: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ It will match against the Musicbrainz database and will acoustically ID your files, so the tags can be completely wrong. Just dump folders of albums into the client, it will group and sort things and ID them. It works great. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Fans quitting Spotify to save their love of music (2022)

  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. You can even build yourself a little... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What do you use to tag your music on an NAS (Unraid)?

  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: over 1 year ago

• The Quest for Semantic Music Tagging Software

  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: over 1 year ago

• Spotify code suggests HiFi tier is coming with lossless audio for $20 / month

  I do the same but run it though Picard[0] before adding to Plex. [0]https://picard.musicbrainz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Musicserver that works with folders, not albums

  Feed all of your music to something like 'musicbrainz picard' - it will sort out all the tags and provide the artwork too. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Spotify/Youtube Music alternative?

  Aside from properly ripping and tagging your own physical collection I'd generally refer you to r/piracy but I think they've gone a bit strange since the blackout. I'm fairly sure anything more specific in that direction would not be appropriate for this subreddit. Source: almost 2 years ago

• (if this is not appropriate for the sub feel free to delete) I'm burning a cd and I'm just wondering what the numbers under the # symbol mean? Thanks in advance.

  Downloading MusicBrainz will be a lifesaver for you. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Plex Music library completely failing at finding metadata.

  It's definitely more work, but what many people do is run everything through a tagger like Picard to get all the metadata correct locally, then enable 'Prefer local metadata' in your library settings to ensure Plex follows that. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Hi all

  I didn’t mention this because it doesn’t answer your original question but I usually run my audiobooks through MusicBrainz Picard first then put it in a music type library and that works really well. Only thing is it doesn’t quite start/stop where I left off. I think you get the start/stop behavior if you organize them in a book type library, though. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I want to click and open one file at a time in a folder in a list style

  Step 1) Download Picard. Step 2) Let it do all that work for you. Step 3) [Optional] Download MP3tag for mass renaming of MP3 files based on meta data. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Bach 2000 tagging and directory/file naming conventions

  I run everything through Picard, which in addition to tagging all of my music, can also organize it automatically based on those tags. I use the following script (Options > Options... > File Naming > Edit file naming script...):. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there a GUI tool to batch-modify FLAC metadata, like ID3 renamer does for mp3?

  MusicBrainz Picard. I've used it to catalog and tag many many many albums. Just drag and drop albums onto the browser, and it looks it up on the very extensive MusicBrainz database. If it's not there you can easily edit or add or delete whatever tag you like. Source: about 2 years ago

• This is a stupid question but, how do I create a album

  This is where you need to tag your music files, e.g. Using MusicBrainz Picard. These tags are 'inside' the music files and Jellyfin reads them when it scans your library. If you have several files with different track numbers and titles but the same album in the tags then theses will show as on the same album in Jellyfin. Source: about 2 years ago

• Music Library encoding multi-disc vinyl record sets.

  Not sure if this is the right answer but I think you use MP3Tag or MusicBrainz Picard to edit the disc metadata in the format you’ve suggested. Either that or follow the instructions under “Discs.”. Source: about 2 years ago

• How to Embed Audiobooks with Multiple MP3/WAV files in Jellyfin?

  If that doesn’t work, I personally have my Audiobooks library as a music type library, with MusicBrainz as my highest priority metadata provider. But even before that…I know these are external services, but I always process all my music and audiobooks through MusicBrainz Picard before importing into Jellyfin. I know that many people also use MP3Tag before importing their music and audiobooks into Jellyfin.... Source: about 2 years ago
