![]() ![]() Only the 'Genre' tag should be written in either green or light brown. ![]() When next, you select the album in the right panel, you will see all present tags, and the suggested genre tag changes in the bottom panel. (if that failed try 'Scan' instead of 'Lookup') It then will usually get matched and moved to the right panel. Drag an album folder to the left panel.Īll album tracks should now get gathered as an album. There are very good tutorials on that to be found (like the quick-start and the full documentation), so here is only a quick-and-dirty to at least help to get started a bit: a 'Subgenre' tag), see post #2 for how to do that.ĭetailed explanations on the actual use and workings of Picard are beyond the scope of this topic. If you don't want the original 'Genre' tag to get written/updated, but have another tag set up for this purpose (e.g. You then should have something like this: Make sure the checkboxes for both scripts are checked. On the left, rename 'My script 2' to your liking, e.g. Paste script #2 in the blank pane on the right. On the left, rename 'My script 1' to your liking, e.g. ![]() Paste script #1 in the blank pane on the right. Check the checkbox at the top next to:'Tagger script(s)' (experienced Picard users can probably ignore this one since they will likely already have their own 'unset' scripts in place) The second one is very important, since it will make sure only the Genre tag gets written, and all other tags will remain unchanged. The first one makes it so that the retrieved genres are named and written in a uniform way, so that they will align well with MusicBee and the (optional) Enhanced Genre Hierarchy List. I have provided two of them that are needed for this to work well. Next, another essential part: adding scripts. So the whitelist and the scripts are now available as a download here Over time the whitelist and the scripts have grown to such lengths that the forum engine doesn't allow including them in this post as code anymore. Set the checkboxes and values as in below screenshot, and copy the genre whitelist into the include/exclude box. Stricken-through since I have changed my opinion about using the Wikidata plugin (Because of its very bad results I don't use it anymore) Important suggestion: You will probably want to uncheck everything under Albumart to prevent downloading and writing of artwork! (Options > Cover Art) Check the other Option tabs to set other personal preferences if so desired. Under Options > Plugins there should now be an options tab for Wikidata Genre. In the right panel scroll down to Wikidata Genre, and click the green arrow icon. ![]() If you have reasons to stick to v2.3 so be it.) I strongly suggest the portable version, if only for the benefit of this making it possible to have more than one Picard installation for different purposes. Download and install MusicBrainz' Picard. This start post will explain how to set things up: The second post after this one provides additional background info and details on the workings. Which is important if you for example use MusicBee's Tag Hierarchy browser. It will also make sure the genre names (and their spelling) conform to, and line up with how MusicBee knows and recognises them. The goal of this system is to get your music tagged with as many genres as possible, but restricted to appropriate and sensible ones. (Even though this Tip & Trick is not pertaining to MusicBee solely but needs an external tool (MusicBrainz' Picard), I feel that the results are so nice that it's worthwhile to post it here.) ![]()
