Is musicBrainz's server acting screwed up or is it just me?

Since its been a long time labeling music. But Now the program is giving me Red Discs and no images. Is the servers acting screwed up?

songs to save in another folder than just downloads?

I have a folder where all my music goes. Is there a way I can make the save and updated music go to the folder instead of just saving all my music to my downloads? My Mac is going crazy with storage, and all my music is taking up the storage. I just don't know what I’d press to then use my folder to then dump all the songs into after I save them and rename them with the MusicBrainz app. I don't know what I’m trying to ask. Really, I’m just trying to change the save destination from ''downloads'' to the folder titled ''all my music.'' I hope this was a clear question.

What are the most essential metadata for audio?

I'm trying to come up with a standard list of tags to put on my new media, using MB Picard and the MB database. Has anyone written a guide or seen a guide that talks about what tags the main players (Jellyfin, Navidrome, Strawberry, etc) can usefully display? Artist, artists is a good example of what I mean.

genre tag not updating?

maybe i'm stupid or what but i added my own genres to then find out they were WRONG and now when i use the musicbrainz app it and changes all the tags to what i want but keeps the genre tags the same stupid tags i made them and i have to go look it up then add it myself. What's the point of the musicbrainz app if i can't override the genre tag with the correct one? or do i have the tag turned off i get some of the songs don't have tags so it does nothing in that regard for a few of my songs (i have niche unreleased songs here from a band that's not really a band yet (hayley williams powersnatch band) so i get theres no genre tag for it yet but the rest should be fine so idk why its not updating.

Running Picard on a headless linux server

Before i get too far into it I'd like to check - can I install Picard on a headless linux server and just use it at the command-line?

Or will it fail to startup without the right gui libraries?

I made a simple open-source app to download an entire artist's songs into a single folder

Songism: Song Downloader

I built this over the weekend as a small hobby project.

The idea is very simple: instead of downloading songs one by one, you provide an artist URL and the application queues every available song for download into a single artist folder.

Current features:

  • Download all songs from an artist page
  • Queue-based downloading with progress tracking
  • Adjustable random delay between downloads
  • Choose output folder
  • Simple Windows desktop GUI

Right now it only supports Pendujatt, but I designed it so I can add more sources later.

It's still very early, but I'd appreciate feedback on the architecture or ideas for future sources/features.

GitHub:
https://github.com/saurabhgayali/Songism
Direct Download:
https://github.com/saurabhgayali/Songism/releases/download/Prerelease/Songism.exe

Currently only available for Windows. Support for Linux and macOS is planned, and I'll be adding more music sources over time.

In Action:

Steps

  1. Launch Songism.exe.
  2. Visit https://pendujatt.com.se/ and search for an artist.
  3. Open the artist's page and copy its URL.
  4. Paste the artist URL into Songism.
  5. Choose or verify the output folder where the songs will be saved.
  6. Click Download Songs to start downloading all available songs for that artist.

Use MusicBrainz to add data to BPM field for sorting in Apple Music

I am looking to try to tag all of my music files with their BPM so I can then create jogging playlists that will be close to the BPM I want to run at.

Is there an easy way to do this in this software?
