More about MusicBrainz Tagger

The current version of the program is 0.10.5 and its last update happened on 9/26/2005. It’s available for users with the operating system Windows 98 and prior versions, and it is only available in English.Since we added this software to our catalog in 2005, it has managed to achieve 11,027 downloads, and last week it achieved 0 downloads. MusicBrainz Tagger is a light program that will require less space than most programs in the section Audio software.

The MusicBrainz Tagger application allows you to automatically look up the tracks in your music collection and then write clean metadata tags (ID3 tags or Vorbis comment fields) to your files. As you tag the files in your collection that MusicBrainz didn’t recognize, you submit the acoustic fingerprints (TRM ids) of your files back to the server. Submitting acoustic fingerprints will allow MusicBrainz to automatically identify these tracks in the future, so that other people using the Tagger can benefit from the work you have done.

As the community uses the Tagger application, more and more files will be automatically recognized. However, as we are just starting to collect the acoustic fingerprints, fewer files will be initially recognized. So, please download the Tagger and run your music collection through it so we can start collecting more acoustic fingerprints. You may also want to take a look at our statistics page to see how many TRM ids we’ve been collecting recently.

The Tagger is currently only available for Windows. The MusicBrainz team would love to create an iTunes Tagger plugin for Mac OS X, but we haven’t had enough time to write one yet. It’s on our radar — trust us. We’re not intentionally excluding the Mac community.
