MusicBrainz Picard Reviews and details

• 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 month 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: 5 months 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: 6 months 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 / 7 months 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: 10 months 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: 10 months 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.

• 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: 12 months 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: 12 months 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: 12 months 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: 12 months 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: 12 months 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: 12 months 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: 12 months 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: 12 months ago

  I know it isn't Android but MusicBrainz Picard is magical. Source: 12 months ago

• How do you manage your music library on Synology device?

• 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!

• 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: about 1 year ago
