Fixes PICARD-259 (and associated sub-tickets) This moves the taggerscript evaluation to happen when a file is matched (i.e. when a file is added to a track), where it has access to the both the file metadata *and* the track metadata. In order to ensure that the titles in the user interface are correct, this is done by saving an extra copy of the original musicbrainz metadata in track.orig_metadata. The taggerscript is run as per normal on track.metadata, but the file matching will use track.orig_metadata and re-run the taggerscript on the merged data.
MusicBrainz Picard
MusicBrainz Picard is a cross-platform (Linux/Mac OS X/Windows) application written in Python and is the official MusicBrainz tagger.
Picard supports the majority of audio file formats, is capable of using audio fingerprints (AcoustIDs), performing CD lookups and disc ID submissions, and it has excellent Unicode support. Additionally, there are several plugins available that extend Picard's features.
When tagging files, Picard uses an album-oriented approach. This approach allows it to utilize the MusicBrainz data as effectively as possible and correctly tag your music. For more information, see the illustrated quick start guide to tagging.
Picard is named after Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
