So with the most recent Spotify nonsense I've finally had enough and I'm going back to mp3. Unfortunately, I haven't had to do this since Bush left office and I do not have the free time to manually sort and document every single file I have. I've been using MusicBrainz Picard but I don't know if the learning curve is steeper than I have traction for or if it's just really picky.

Anyone got suggestions on how to better manage all my jams? I'm trying to make it user friendly as I can for the family and so far I'm not winning lol

I get most of my music from Bandcamp and I use Jellyfin as my streaming service. I wrote a script where I fill in the artist, album title and the download link. It then creates the relevant directories, downloads and unpacks the files and then fixes the metadata using beets with the last.fm plugin to get the genre tags. Jellyfin then does the rest.

I've been wanting change the script up, so that it creates the directories after the metadata is correct, but I'll need an evening of hyper focus for that.
