    i use beets (https://github.com/beetbox/beets) for tagging on windows as well as linux. works really well.

  • InfluxDB

  • ncmpcpp

    Featureful ncurses based MPD client inspired by ncmpc

    I did that particular transition myself not that long ago. I used MusicBee and never thought I could replace it, but I did. For library management I use beets and for playing music I use mpd. The front-end I use for mpd is ncmpcpp which is a terminal player. There are several other front ends available. I also use Puddletag to check the tags before importing into beets. If I just want to listen to some files without importing into my library, I use Deadbeef.
