musicbrainz-userscripts VS beets

Here's a link to the tampermonkey scripts: https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts

Check out the Musicbrainz-UserScripts plugin repository. This is a list of scripts people have written to do various things. With them, you can

I know beets has metadata plugins for Discogs, Deezer, Spotify, and Beatport but they don't work as well as grabbing metadata from MusicBrainz so I have been using MusicBrainz UserScripts with Violentmonkey to create new MusicBrainz entries for these albums.

I'd been using Plex and Navidrome. Plex isn't bad, but Navidrome has been choking on the reg. I'd used Emby in the past and wasn't crazy about the UI. While it still isn't where I'd like it to see it, if I have to sacrifice design for response time, I'll make that trade. That isn't to say it is a terrible UI to begin with. It is more a nit pick. I love the Musicbrainz integration, but would appreciate Discogs added to that list of sites to pull metadata from. In the meantime I installed Tampermonkey and loaded this userscript to transfer metadata from Discogs to Musicbrainz.

Also, some of https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts have been handy

I'm not overly concerned about accuracy to that extent for myself, so I don't generally worry if something gets tagged as being a CD if it was actually digital media or that sort of thing, I just go with whatever's closest or most complete as long as it's got the same track lists. If you want though, you can contribute to the musicbrainz database, there's userscripts that let you import releases from Deezer (or bandcamp, discogs or a bunch of other sources) without having to enter all the data manually - I just use it if there's not a version that's close, or if the album's missing entirely, but you could always do that if you prefer your tags to be as accurate as possible!

Then scroll down and install the "Import Bandcamp releases to MusicBrainz" script from github.

I was always frustrated that there is no solid source for synced lyrics that also offers decent API support. There is good ol' Crintsoft's MiniLyrics that is thankfully free software, was what I used a lot in my childhood, but unfortunately the API is highly obfuscated. Another popular choice is the Musixmatch API, which has a very large database of synced lyrics, but with "free" API that are reverse-engineered from their app, you will quickly run into rate-limit.

That's why I created LRCLIB. It's aimed to provide completely free synchronized lyrics for everyone, especially for FOSS music players, with zero profit intention. It currently has nearly 3,000,000 (not deduplicated) lyrics in database. You can also contribute to the database by adding and syncing lyrics for your favorite songs using the LRCGET client.

I'm trying my best to make LRCLIB server-side code open-source as soon as possible. But right now, full LRCLIB's database dumps have already been uploaded regularly and publicly, which are simply sqlite3 files. Feel free to download, look at or do anything you want with the database at https://lrclib.net/db-dumps.

Many open-source projects have already begun integrating LRCLIB, including:

- beets - music library metadata management (https://github.com/beetbox/beets)

I just ssh onto my server and use beets to remotely organize my navidrome collection and edit metadata. Beets has lots of auto-tagging features and I rarely need to edit anything manually. Works great if you are ok with using the command line.

You could try https://github.com/beetbox/beets but it seemed very manual and extremely slow. I had better luck with Picard.

Honestly? I use https://beets.io/ to organise all my FLAC on my NAS.

I expose the /Music directory over NFC.

I use https://kodi.tv/ to stream music to my amp. I manually pick the album I want to listen to.

Kodi also has a fairly reasonable web UI.

Keep it simple.

If you're technically inclined, there's beets.

You should check out beets.

Yes, you have the torrent client call beets.io on the folder and have beets configured.
