The MusicBrainz Tagger application allows you to automatically look up the tracks in your music collection and then write clean metadata tags (ID3 tags or Vorbis comment fields) to your files. As you tag the files in your collection that MusicBrainz didn’t recognize, you submit the acoustic fingerprints (TRM ids) of your files back to the server. Submitting acoustic fingerprints will allow MusicBrainz to automatically identify these tracks in the future, so that other people using the Tagger can benefit from the work you have done.
As the community uses the Tagger application, more and more files will be automatically recognized. However, as we are just starting to collect the acoustic fingerprints, fewer files will be initially recognized. So, please download the Tagger and run your music collection through it so we can start collecting more acoustic fingerprints. You may also want to take a look at our statistics page to see how many TRM ids we’ve been collecting recently.

MusicBrainz Tagger 0.10.3
This bug fix version fixes problems in the id3v2 tags generated by the 0.10.2 version. This version also supports logging, removing id3v2 tags from ogg files, sports new toolbar icons, shows special too short and silence trms.
With the increased load on the TRM signature server tagging clients may encounter TRM server busy messages and the tagger now captures those and reminds the user to donate money to MusicBrainz when the TRM server becomes busy. The tagger also supports the new %type (album type), %status (album status), %year, $month, %date (for first release date of the album) and %country (first release country) variables for the saving tagged files. These values are now also written to the metadata tags.
