I'm using MusicBrainz Picard for tagging my music library and I'm not unhappy with it. Yet, sometimes it feels a bit clunky and I'm wondering if there are other good tools out there. What do people use? What are the major pros of these tools? Let's collect some recommendations here. I'm Linux based, but for the benefit of others don't restrict yourself!

Most people use Lidarr so I just use it as well. Out of the box it needed some tweaking but other than that, it works quite well. Pulls tags from MusicBrainz and that's enough for me. I have been thinking of trying out beets (or a web wrapper of beets), but haven't gotten the time to do that.

Ah, so that's a torrent setup, right?

(Not OP but) it can be used to actually download the music itself via torrents, but can also just ingest your existing library and automatically (re-)tag everything as it's added.

You can use a torrent indexer with it, sure. I use soulseek, which doesn't integrate so I just let it ingest from a folder. But if you connect it with an indexer, then you can sort of automate downloading music. Request album, and it will request download, organize and tag it for you.
