Recommended Taggers

It's currently recommended to use MusicBrainz Picard to tag artist information in a way that Auxio works best with. It will automatically fetch multi-value information and apply it to supported tags with the native format. beets is also usable, but only if the in-progress multi-artist branch is used.
