MusicBrainz Tagger reviewed in the Washington Post

The Washington Post covered the MusicBrainz Tagger in their weekend edition (reg required):

MusicBrainz does this by computing a music file’s digital fingerprint, based on its length and acoustic properties, then seeing if it can find a match in a growing online database of songs. The program will then work its magic, even reporting its confidence in less-than-exact matches. It was right in most of our tests, even when it reported that a song’s fingerprint matched only 55 percent of a title in the database.

Just wait until they see Picard… Speaking of which, I’m supposed to be working on that right now.

    yes, but on which platform(s)?

  4. Mayhem Says:

    This next release will be for Windows and Linux. Windows will have an installer, but Linux will be more do it yourself. In the near future there will also be a Mac client.

    But the UNICODE stuff is kicking my butt right now, and it will be next week before Picard sees the light of day…

    Sorry.
