MusicBrainz Picard Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• 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: Reddit / 1 day 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: Reddit / 2 days ago

  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: Reddit / 2 days 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: Reddit / 17 days 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: Reddit / 17 days 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: Reddit / 17 days 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: Reddit / 17 days ago

• Metadata got removed

  No problem. Hmm I’m not really sure what’s happening, sorry. Consider writing or searching for an issue on GitHub. Only thing I can suggest is trying out processing all your music through MusicBrainz Picard before adding it to Jellyfin. I’ve never had any issues with my metadata using this method. Good luck! - Source: Reddit / 23 days ago

• Multiple artists for album classification

  I usually use MusicBrainz Picard to clean up all my albums before putting them in my Jellyfin library. It's been a while since I've used it but I believe you can list multiple separate artists for an album. Try doing that then importing it into Jellyfin. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Strange "artists" showing up in new Music library from \ProgramData...\metadata folder?

  This will be coming from the tags on your audio files. There are two types of tag commonly used ID3 version 1 and ID3 version 2. Some formats such as MP3 can support both simultaneously and some formats such as FLAC support version 2 only. It's possible to have tags both for (track) 'artist' and 'album artist'. You might want to examine the audio file in question with a tag editor such as MusicBrainz Picard.... - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago
