#2What (and when something) ends up on the first page never ceases to surprise. I've used this I don't know how long. Could it be 15 years? Their official tagging client (Picard) is OK, but I prefer tagging using Mp3tag and the MusicBrainz database.

#3I've been using MusicBrainz' Picard to tag my music files (that I acquired 100% legitimately, I assure you.) for a few months now.
They seem to have everything I throw at them, except for: 1) Extremely new releases (on the order of a-few-hours-after-release) 2) Some niche songs that haven't been officially released (soundtracks for some Korean television shows)

How does that work? How do you use MusicBrainz to tag music files?

#5always nice to see something of such utility pop up. musicbrainz has most assuredly been around for what seems like forever now, and there's a reason for that. their tag database is second to none as far as im concerned. unfortunately for me, the only music I keep locally is my own music that I've made, and I can almost guarantee that that wouldn't be on there. plus i tag all my music properly to a point that might seem religious and obsessive because I hate music files without metadata (which is why I export in mp3 as well as wav; wav for higher quality, and mp3 for labeling purposes; I could probably just use flac but compressed audio like mp3 also has the benefit of being less space intensive).
either way, nice to see it

> MusicBrainz Picard
is a metadata editor, doing both audio fingerprinting and manual tagging(while fetching data from musicbrainz) where that is not available: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/

#7Offtopic question: Is there a similar tool for managing or tagging metadata for movies and television?
