Picard is an open-source cross-platform music tagger by MusicBrainz. It has the ability to identify audio files even without any existing metadata. Picard helps you organize your music collection by renaming your music files and sorting them into a folder structure exactly the way you want it. A variety of plugins are available and you can even write your own. Picard supports a wide range of audio formats and can also lookup an entire CD for you. Tagging audio files has never been easier. **Features:** * **Multiple formats:** Picard supports all popular music formats, including MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A, WMA, WAV, and more. * **AcoustID:** Picard uses AcoustID audio fingerprints, allowing files to be identified by the actual music, even if they have no metadata. * **Comprehensive database:** Picard uses the open and community-maintained MusicBrainz database to provide accurate information about millions of music releases. * **CD lookups:** Picard can lookup entire music CDs with a click. * **Plugin support:** If you need a particular feature, you can choose from a selection of available plugins or write your own. * **Scripting:** A flexible but easy to learn scripting language allows you to exactly specify how your music files will be named and how the tags will look like. * **Cover Art:** Picard can find and download the correct cover art for your albums. * **Open Source:** Picard is licensed under the GNU General Public License 2.0 or later, and is hosted on GitHub where it is actively developed by some awesome developers. **Note:** Picard installed as a Snap is running inside a sandbox and thus it does not have full access to all files and folders on your system. By default Picard has access to your home folder. You can additionally give it access to removable media by running the following command in a terminal: ``` snap connect picard:removable-media ``` **What's new?** Please refer to for changes in the latest release. ### Package name * picard --- ### License * GPL-2.0+ --- ### Last updated * 17 February 2025 - latest/stable * Today - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [picard.musicbrainz.org](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ "https://picard.musicbrainz.org/") --- ### Contact * [community.metabrainz.org](https://community.metabrainz.org/c/picard "https://community.metabrainz.org/c/picard") --- ### Donations * [metabrainz.org](https://metabrainz.org/donate "https://metabrainz.org/donate") --- ### Source code * [github.com/metabrainz/picard](https://github.com/metabrainz/picard "https://github.com/metabrainz/picard") --- ### Report a bug * [tickets.metabrainz.org](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/projects/PICARD/issues/ "https://tickets.metabrainz.org/projects/PICARD/issues/") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/picard/manjaro#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install MusicBrainz Picard Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply. Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo pacman -S snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install MusicBrainz Picard To install MusicBrainz Picard, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install picard ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
