Hi there. After getting sick of Picard writing zillions of tags into my music files, I decided to write a little script myself. So here it is: pymbtag (hooray to my creativity!). The data used still comes from musicbrainz.org, but only a few tags are written. MP3, FLAC and Ogg are supported.
These are:
Artist
Album
Tracknumer
Title (of the track)
Year (only the year, not the complete release data)
Discnumber (only if there's "(disc x)" in the title of the album)
Musicbrainz Album ID (if you ever want to tag the album again)
Albumartist (if it's "Various Artists") [MP3 gets a "TXXX=ALBUMARTISTSORT" AND a "TPE2" {used by MPD} tag]
Dependencies
python 2.x
mutagen
python-musicbrainz2
Installation
Use the AUR package pymbtag.
Or get the source code from github:
git clone git://github.com/mineo/pymbtag.git
Usage
It's supposed to be run on a folder with only 1 (one) album in it, multiple albums might eat your kitten.
There are only a few simple switches:
-m MBID, --mbid=MBID The MBID of the release
-d DIR, --dir=DIR The directory the files are in
-l, --load-from-files
Load the MBID from the files in the directoryYou must specify -d and either -m or -l.
If there's more than one release event for the album, you can choose one of them.
Note: If you like, please contribute data to Musicbrainz or donate some money to them. If there are some problems with the script, feel free to tell me. If there are no problems, feel free to tell me, too.

So this script isn't good for tagging individual tracks?
Offline
It works on individual tracks, but only if you have one individual track in the folder. The association of the files to the musicbrainz data is done via the tracknumber, which seemed the easiest way to me (and I don't really have single tracks lying around on my HDD).
