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

    You can easily import music metadata to musicbrainz with userscripts: https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts

    I use the discogs and bandcamp one frequently.

    Install the userscript in your browser, and if you find your album on discogs or other sites, it adds a button there, and with few clicks it transfers the data to musicbrainz. Then in picard search again, or copy the link from musicbrainz to the searchbar in picard

      Yes, 100% this. I use both of them regularly. A lot of new releases are on band camp and not even on discogs anymore. But combined with music brains Picard, they are awesome.
