Here are some notes that I scrawled out in response to DonRedman's Picard Mock up: I like the icons, I like the intuitive interface, but I hate the fact that I cant sort by the columns and that the albums are the dominant organizing factor.

It groups things from the largest possible group and leads the user to the smallest items. This is the most logical way to show music. Please put the artist as the first tier of the tree, then under them the album(s) and then under that the songs. You can load metadata from MusicBrainz into the right pane, and then you can match files by dragging them (or the whole album group) from the left into the right pane.Ĭomment by David Srbecky - I like this idea since it minimizes the number of panels and it seems intuitive to me.Ĭomment by DawnTreader - Do not make the left pane album centered but rather artist centered. You can group them by album there, and analyze them so that they get PUIDs, but that is about it. This means you load files into the left pane. The left pane represents unmatched stuff, and the right one matched stuff. The new interface has two panes that each has a tree-like structure. RobertKaye and DonRedman have started to work an an intuitive user interface for the PicardTagger, because the current one is, well, shitty. Status: most of these ideas where used and implemented in the new Picard version. If you're not into looking at either the past or the future, you should just disregard entirely this page content and look for an up to date documentation page elsewhere.

We also keep it for archival purposes because possibly it still contains crazy thoughts and ideas that may be reused someday. We still keep this page to honor the brave editors who, during the prehistoric times (prehistoric for you, newcomer!), struggled hard to build a better present and dreamed of an even better future. The content of this page either is bit-rotted, or has lost its reason to exist due to some new features having been implemented in MusicBrainz, or maybe just described something that never made it in (or made it in a different way), or possibly is meant to store information and memories about our Glorious Past.
