Can Picard Be Used for Training Audio Metadata Models?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using MusicBrainz Picard for a while now to clean up and tag my music library, and I really appreciate how well it handles large collections. Recently, I’ve started learning more about machine learning and how it can be applied to music metadata..like predicting genres, moods, or even suggesting better tags based on audio features.

Has anyone here ever exported Picard-tagged libraries to use in ML projects? I’m curious if the metadata it collects could help train models, especially when combined with acoustic data.

While exploring this, I came across an MLOps Course that covers the full machine learning pipeline..including deployment and monitoring..which got me thinking about how to automate and scale something like this with music data.

If anyone’s experimented with using Picard data in ML workflows or knows of related projects, I’d love to hear more. Also open to ideas on how to structure metadata for training purposes.

Thanks in advance!

Could you please explain this for people like me who cannot imagine how this could work?

I mean, I see how some “similarity” can be used to apply metadata. How could machine learning be useful in this area?
