I have this collection of mp3s from the 90s-2000s from before the streaming services era. Back when people used Winamp or XMMS to listen to their music. I backed up my music files in two places and they’re both organized differently.

I need a tool to go through the whole thousands of files, find out what each track is (artist, album, track title, track number all that meta data), rename the file accordingly and apply all the metadata, then move the file in a certain directory structure.

Are there any music organizers out there that can do this? Or do I have to implement my own script?

UPDATE:

Musicbrainz Picard ended up doing exactly what I wanted. It identified all the songs using fingerprinting, updated all the tags and it moved all my files to a proper directory structure (artist/album/tracknumber - track title) into my Music folder.

Thank you @[email protected] for the recommendation! 😁
