If you live on the command line I would like to highly recommend "beets" to manage your music: https://beets.io https://beets.io
It allows you to match your albums with specific MusicBrainz entries to get precise metadata.
It can be used in combination with playback tools like Jellyfin or Plex if you simply point them at your Beets library folder.
I've been using it for a few years and I would never go back.
- fredthomsen 5y agoI was very happy to see this tool mentioned and recommend it highly. Very nice tool to add album art and cleaning up the tags for your existing music
- mmastrac 5y agoNice, thanks. I was using Picard and it's great but a little buggy at times.
- LeoPanthera 5y agoThey're a good complement to each other. You can "pre-tag" files with Picard before having beets ingest them if you prefer a GUI to check what you're getting.
- pimeys 5y agoBeen going with this config[0] for some years already. Beets is awesome and gives me the organized flacs in my NAS, and the 96kbps opus files in my phone. [0]: https://github.com/pimeys/nixos/blob/main/home.nix#L96-L126 https://github.com/pimeys/nixos/blob/main/home.nix#L96-L126
- shock 5y agoUnfortunately, it doesn't support multiple formats/versions of the same song.
- LeoPanthera 5y agobeets supports custom fields, so you could trivially make it do so by adding something like a "trackdisambig" field and then adding that to the path definition.
