How it works
Developers use MusicBrainz to identify and tag audio files, researchers use it to study music history, and collectors use it to catalog their libraries accurately. The Picard tagger, built on MusicBrainz data, can identify and correctly tag thousands of audio files automatically.
MusicBrainz is free and open, and it is maintained by a nonprofit foundation with a large volunteer community. If you need reliable music metadata for an app, a research project, or a personal collection, it is the most complete open source available. Contributions from the community keep it growing.
