From Lars Hellemo


I have written a plugin for the MusicBrainz Picard tagger mentioned earlier that reads recording dates from Tobias' data and sets the date tag accordingly.

This works for recordings that are both in Tobias' database with date and barcode and where the recording has barcode in the MusicBrainz database.

Get the tagger here:

http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardQt

Get the file:

https://tango.info/x/py/

and put in the plugins directory of PicardQt together with

https://tango.info/opendata - track.csv

and enable the tango.info (date) plugin under Options

Some TaggerScript may be useful to customize the formatting of artist etc, and other plugins that I have found useful are Disc Numbers and Cover Art Downloader from

http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardQt/Plugins

This is my first take on python, and any suggestions for improvements are welcome. As is help cleaning up and adding data to the MusicBrainz database. Reading genre from the same data would be a trivial modification, and composer should not be too difficult either.

I hope this can be useful for others.

Best regards

Lars
