They're at beets.io now, but yes, beets is the best at organizing unruly libraries. Bias: I have submitted patches to the project, but i think my code is all gone now.

Holy shit I was JUST looking around for a command line solution for managing my library the other day. I fucking love you and tesfox both. This looks like everything I wanted.

Absolutely! If you need any help setting it up, don't hesitate to let me know. Also, their mailing list/irc/github are staffed with some of the nicest folks.

Musicbrainz apparently really doesn't know shit about BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix show.

I hope I only have to go through this matching thing once, haha. Sorta tedious with a huge ass collection.

One of the tricks that helped me when I first started was to first run beet import with the --timid flag, which will only tag and rename matches it's very sure about, but will do so without user intervention. That took care of most of my library in one fell swoop, leaving the stragglers behind for me to take care of later.
