About this application

MusicBrainz Picard is a Linux music tagging application from the MetaBrainz Foundation, released under the GPL-2.0-or-later license. Its purpose is to identify audio files and write structured metadata to them, using information associated with the MusicBrainz database. It is aimed at users who maintain music files and want consistent tags for albums, tracks, artists, and related release details.

The application works as a tag editor rather than a music player. Users load audio files, group or match them to known releases, review the proposed metadata, and save the resulting tags back to the files. This makes it useful for preparing a library for players that depend on embedded metadata. The platform information supplied here lists Linux only.
