It seems to me you have to be OK with a certain level of deviation from your personal perfect tagging schema if you're going to fully rely on automation. In the past when I engaged in tagging (I haven't had the spoons for well over 5 years) I could only use the automated data as a timesaver at the start before doing laborious manual edits.
I'm sure some people are less picky about the end result or are lucky enough that their ideal tagging system aligns perfectly with the results of one or the other automated method. Not me though.
Besides exhaustion and the ever-increasing workload (and despite how nice it'd be to have my stuff properly tagged) another reason I haven't returned to tagging yet is it increasingly strikes me as a non-ideal use of my limited time in this life. 😔 NOT TO GET TOO HEAVY BUT
I like beets.io to get the general info right and then I can update the stuff it fucks up
beets is pretty good but I have a Lot of stuff in my library that it doesn't seem to know what to do with, and it either skips it over or grossly misclassifies it because some chucklehead decided to submit a record as "popdustrial" or some shit to musicbrainz 15 years ago
beets is good for me, but i currently dont use genre tags. i do wanna to go through and manually tag genres at some point and thats gonna suck. but for artists and track names and such it gets me close enough. i have it set to ask me what to do for each album and i can just note which albums need manual intervention, skip importing them, fix em up and then import as-is.

yeah don't you have like 4tb of music or something? good luck, sincerely
god i wish. i have about a tb
I've never used beets. Is it good at all with more obscure stuff? My biggest fear is having it undo all my hard work because some chucklefuck made a mistake in the tags and nobody ever caught it because the artist in question isn't even popular in their home country.
I’ma giant normie so I have no idea lol. You should look up on musicbrainz some of your obscure music to see. You can also use the “timid” flag and have it ask before tagging every single album.
normie! /j
I have like a terabyte of music but I hate manually doing things, so I'll try it out and see how it goes.
