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

If you’re an Apple household, Apple Music (iTunes) is still great. I don’t pay for streaming services; I buy music on iTunes/Bandcamp and rip CDs.

Apple Music has a fantastic interface for managing metadata, creating playlists, and performing complex batch jobs with AppleScript. I sync my iPhone and iPod Nano every time I add a new album, and I host my media folder on NextCloud for listening on other devices.

Every time I’ve checked in to see if I can use Apple Music, it won’t do anything without a subscription. Are you using it without one?

The Music app (also called Apple Music, formerly iTunes) is a library manager at its core. You don’t need an Apple Music subscription to use it. It runs on macOS and Windows.
