Music library manager recommendation (slrpnk.net)

Hey folks!

I have a music library that has grown over time that I stream using navidrome. The issue is, some of the files have little to no metadata, I have duplicates of the same album, some artist names are misspelled, etc. An it is large enough that doing this completely manually would take a while.

I'm assuming (hoping) that I am not alone in this.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a tool (either standalone or part of a self-hostable media app) to basically assist in cleaning this up? It doesn't need to automate a lot of the process, but, for instance, querying metadata from an online source based on the file name / artist name, detecting misspelled artist names would already be interesting. Similar to Calibre's "retrieve metadata" for ebooks.

An alternative to MusicBrainz Picard is Lidarr. No sonic analysis but it can organize and rename your library among other things.

Picard is the better option for music organization though.
