I have different profiles setup in Picard for music from different sources. I’d like to add a custom tag to each of of my tracks (mostly FLAC & MP3 files) where the tag is named ‘source’ and the value is the name of the Picard profile that was active when the track was saved. If it makes a difference, not all sources will have musicbrainz data (if I don’t know the label/catnum and can’t link to the proper musicbrainz ID I prefer to not include any musicbrainz tags). Can I accomplish this through a taggerscript, or do I need to create a plugin, or ?

You can $set whatever field you like to see in your tags, for example
$set(source,"ProfileName")
But I don’t think that there is a script-variable containing the current profile name.

First thing to remember is that there can be more than one profile active at a time, which could complicate things. Also, there is currently no scripting variable that contains the currently active profile names.
Having said that, one way you could accomplish what you’re trying to do is to set each profile to manage the tagging scripts, and then add a script to each profile that sets the tag to the profile name. Something like:
$set(source,Picard profile name)

Bingo. That’ll work, thanks!
