There's a cool little app that goes through your locally hosted music, grabs the artists and then watches MusicBrainz for releases for them artists. Upon seeing a new release, it will send a notification announcing it.

Sadly the app hasn't had an update in a while and so I wondered if anyone knew of any alternatives or how to replicate it?

If you like the command line, it can help you a lot in organising your library. You can pass it queries to list songs, or bulk edit attributes such as title, artist, language, genre etc; you can tell it to automatically put your files in folders named after some of those attributes...

I'm not familiar with what @florge@feddit.uk says, I gess it's probably something you can do with beet plugins.
