# Picard
|
|
|
|
[MusicBrainz Picard](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/) is a free cross-platform
|
|
tagging software for [music or other audio files](./audio.md).
|
|
It is able to tag a wide range of [audio codecs](./audio.md#audio-codecs)
|
|
[flac](./flac_(codec).md) among others.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Picard is available on the [official website](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/)
|
|
and [GitHub](https://github.com/metabrainz/picard).
|
|
Additionally for some [Linux distributions](/wiki/linux.md#distributions)
|
|
it is available via a package often called `picard`.
|
|
|
|
Picard can also be virtualized and accessed over [VNC](/wiki/vnc.md) or
|
|
[web browser](/wiki/web_browser.md).
|
|
This can be setup via [docker](/wiki/docker.md) with the
|
|
[mikenye image](/wiki/docker/mikenye_-_picard.md).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
This section addresses various features of picard.
|
|
|
|
### File naming
|
|
|
|
To enable the file renaming on saving check `Rename files when saving` in the
|
|
preferences.
|
|
Alternatively the box under `Options` called `Rename Files` can be checked to produce the same
|
|
outcome.
|
|
Under `Options` you can `Open file naming script editor` to change the script.
|
|
The tags described used are based on the audio codec.
|
|
In this section it is assumed the standard
|
|
[flac tags](./flac_(codec).md#tagging) are used as described in this wiki.
|
|
|
|
#### Music
|
|
|
|
The following is a basic script for renaming music files to the scheme
|
|
`[<discnumber>.]<tracknumber>._<artist>_-_<title>`
|
|
all in lower case.
|
|
discnumber is only added, when the total disc count is greater than 1.
|
|
Both discnumber and tracknumber are padded according to the number of total
|
|
discs and tracks.
|
|
The tracknumber is padded to at least 2 places.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$replace($lower(
|
|
$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),$num(%discnumber%,$len(%totaldiscs%)).,)
|
|
$num(%tracknumber%,$if($gt($len(%totaltracks%),2),$len(%totaltracks%),2))._
|
|
%artist%_-_
|
|
%title%), ,_)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Audiobooks
|
|
|
|
Another Script is mainly used for audiobooks, where the title is not part of
|
|
the filename to avoid confusion.
|
|
The files are renamed with the scheme
|
|
`[<discnumber>.]<tracknumber>._<artist>_-_<album>_<tracknumber>`
|
|
all in lower case.
|
|
Both discnumber and tracknumber are handled in the same way as in the previous
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$replace($lower(
|
|
$if($gt(%totaldiscs%,1),$num(%discnumber%,$len(%totaldiscs%)).,)
|
|
$num(%tracknumber%,$if($gt($len(%totaltracks%),2),$len(%totaltracks%),2))._
|
|
%artist%_-_
|
|
%album%), ,_)_
|
|
$num(%tracknumber%,$if($gt($len(%totaltracks%),2),$len(%totaltracks%),2))
|
|
```
