MusicBrainz Picard is an open-source music tagger available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS operating systems. It's a free tagging tool that focuses on grouping audio files into albums rather than treating them as separate entities.
This isn’t to say that it can’t tag single files, but it works in a different way from the others in this list by building albums from single tracks. This is a great feature if you have a collection of songs from the same album and don't know if you have a complete collection.
Picard is compatible with several formats that include MP3, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP4, WMA, and others. If you’re looking for an album-orientated tagging tool, then Picard is an excellent option.
