When I destroyed my MM4 install to try the first public beta, I nearly did a System Restore to go back and revert it. If I didn't already possess a lifetime licence, I certainly wouldn't be buying it over MM4. The result is a buggy hotch-potch that looks somewhat like a poorly-coded UWP app. Musicbrainz picard sort by album artist software#I would suspect that Ventis Media simply don't have the staff / resources these days to put serious effort into recoding MM from the ground up with their own UI, so took the easy route and used elements of Google Chrome, since that would be quicker, and a certain amount of internet functionality is a requirement of the software anyhow. Musicbrainz picard sort by album artist upgrade#It crashes frequently, is full of bugs, even though they were releasing new betas once a week for the longest possible time, it's based on Google Chrome browser code / framework, and is a pale upgrade from MM4 IMHO. Oh and to go somewhat off-topic again, Mediamonkey 5 is absolute rubbish. MusicBrainz Picard will sort your tags, and discard any tags it's not been told to "preserve" if set up correctly, thus somewhat "sanitizing" your music.

So for me, I decided to get my head around Picard and persevere with it, and now it's second nature. Once that's no longer the case, your left out in the cold. But much like we've seen with 3rd-party addons here in our community, these only remain an option while the developer has the desire to keep them up to date. I know there are other tools out there that offer Musicbrainz integration via plugins, Mediamonkey itself had one such plugin. It's not for everyone, but it is the standard in my opinion. The clincher for me is, it gets the essential basics right. Picard in and of itself is a bit limiting in some respects, but there are plugins available that make up for the areas it lacks. But now I've got my head around how Picard works, and can reliably get the results I desire with the data coming straight from one of the largest databases of music that's ever existed, I won't be going back to anything else. This saga started a looonnng time ago with MusicMatch Jukebox, if memory serves. It took me some time to get "used" to Picard after coming from MediaMonkey 4 / MP3Tag / Tag&Rename and the literal plethora of other apps I'd tried prior. MusicBrainz Picard will sort your tags, and discard any tags it's not been told to "preserve" if set up correctly, thus somewhat "sanitizing" your music.Īgreed.

In my case, though, little of my music (maybe 10%) is in Musicbrainz, so that no doubt colors my opinion of picard. I do have to say I see no reason for MediaMonkey 5 over 4. MP3Tag is fine for small / limited corrections, and/or things that Picard doesn't cover by default, but for large tagging operations (i.e: a complete library re-tag), I'd recommend MusicBrainz Picard over pretty much every other tagging tool ever written, at this point.ĭan / Gib.I find picard totally unintuitive, but admit I haven't spent much time with it. MusicBrainz Picard will sort your tags, and discard any tags it's not been told to "preserve" if set up correctly, thus somewhat "sanitizing" your music.Īlso, since Kodi now includes tag recognition for a limited subset of MusicBrainz Artist / Album / Group ID tags, in addition to the standard ones, this ought to be the standard you tag your music against.

The field that Mp3Tag shows as "ALBUMARTIST" is mapped by default to the album artist of all tag formats (will be TPE2 in mps files), that is what you want to use and nuke the other one. The extended tag view shows you all the "fields", but again for another layer of confusion how Mp3Tag maps "fileds" to actually tag data is confirgurable so I'm not sure how that value gets written in the mp3 file. "Album Artist" is the display label Mp3Tag uses, and it looks like you have somehow added a field to the metadata called "ALBUM ARTIST". The tags Kodi tries to read are the common standard ones. So you may see one thing on the display of the tool, and something else happen in the metadata. ![]() FLAC it is ALBUMARTIST, ID3 v2.4 it is TPE2ī) each tagging tool has its own display name for each tag that it maps to the actual tag, and may will let you add bespoke tags or have addons that do so. There is only one tag for album artist in every tag format, howeverĪ) each format (standard or common practice) has it's own internal tag name e.g. ![]()
