I’m looking for something to automatically tag some old music files I have sitting around. I’ve been working with Picard, but a lot of albums are not in MusicBrainz, and adding them has been a serious PITA. Is there any kind of software that either:

Can apply metadata directly from a streaming service (like this script for adding albums to MusicBrainz does)?
Can simply allow me to manually edit metadata with an interface that isn’t completely awful to use?

or even:

Two separate tools, one to grab metadata and another to manually add it (maybe a CLI interface for batch operations?)

Appreciative of any advice—I just hope there’s a better way, with how tedious this can be.

EDIT: Just to specify, I’m on NixOS.

I wonder if Jellyfin can find metadata like it does with movies. Perhaps via a plugin?. Apart from that, all functionality (e.g. streaming) works with music just like it does with videos and that's great!
