This is without a doubt the best cross-platform tagging software available. It's incredibly powerful and versatile.
However (massive caveat), it's a pain to get used to using it, and any noob is not going to figure it out.
Tiny things like being able to link the power of the automatic search in the app with the manual power search on the MusicBrainz website. If you haven't found the release that you wanted through the Picard app, you can search for it on the MusicBrainz website. Once you've found the correct one, just click the 'tagger' icon in the top right hand corner of the window and it'll automatically insert it back into your Picard app, ready for you to drag and drop your tunes onto. This is a massive time saver.
The 'Scan' function is completely amazing, and although not 100% accurate, it's an incredible time saver. I don't know why they don't promote this more.
It could really do with
- some user interaction, tool-tips suggesting that you can use complex search terms in the search window
- possibly an automated system (I seem to click the same buttons in the same order every time)
- more incentive to sign up to the MusicBrainz service
- a reason why it never seems to find the artwork?
All in all, an indispensable piece of software that I use very regularly. Highly recommended.
