For subsequent tagging I use Puddletag or Picard. Puddletag's great for automated tagging as well as getting tags in great shape, customised tagging, formatting and renaming/moving folders and collateral. It also supports tag sources in addition to Musicbrainz.

I use puddletag for many years and am pretty happy with it. It's still actively developed.

puddletag is pretty nice. I'm mostly using it for filename->tag and cleaning up tags (case conversion, remove whitespace etc.), it reminds me a bit of Foobars Mass Tagger which I loved.

I like beets, but sometimes you need to clean up the tags. A long time ago I made a curses based tagger where you can clean up tags. I still use it today and imo, It's the best tag editor on the market!
