I had a whole lot of songs I downloaded online and not always directly from the album that has everything organized; album name, artist, genre, etc.

This software scans your music library and does all that for you and adds album art.

I would say it's 98.5% accurate. Only a few songs it renamed to the wrong thing. So look out for that. But it ask for your confirmation before it edits the song info.

It does it in batch by the way

I would love to get back into hosting songs locally again, but I've grown too reliant on algorithms for music discovery. Is anyone aware of an app to automatically download songs from certain sources based on algorithm? Picard could do the last mile to organize the downloaded files neatly

I'm not aware of such a thing but back in the day I found some great bands by looking at similar artists on last.fm

I use last.fm scrobbling so it can learn what I like and provide suggestions based on my locally hosted music.

Oh, right, that too! Wow I completely forgot about that, and I found my favorite band of all time that way 20 years ago!

I have barely done any music discovery in ages due to a combo of a showstopper bug making my music app unusable for a couple years, and being in moderate to severe burnout for nearly a decade. I'm starting to get back into it though, thanks for reminding me!
