my music player software can automatically name files from the tags and move them to folders systematically, and I'd assume there are about 1000 other meme music players with the same feature. you can also use something with acoustic fingerprinting, such as musicbrainz (lol gay and proprietary tho), to identify untagged music

The tag programs are fine. Is there anything for organizing music directories based on Tags?

You could script exiftool to mv files by tag.

Beets is what you are looking for. Its bloated and has a million dependencies but it works.

Picard is kind of shitty. Firstly, it's strictly interactive, and, secondly, it doesn't know how to accommodate inconsistencies in the Picard library.

I would recommend beets. It uses the Picard library but can take advantage of discogs api's, whose database is much more thorough. It's also significantly more robust and is highly extensible, as evidenced by its blossoming plugin ecosystem, including plugins for fetching and embedding album art from online search engines.

>inconsistencies in the Picard library.

If you have inconsistencies, you can just not scan the files.

If your customer says your product has a defect, you can just pretend like it they don't exist.

>acceptable at any point

Its an audio file not a video/image file. Covers belong as complimentary extra files.
