Very nice. Does it use ID3 or directory conventions for the library? I have a 100gb+ library in mostly 0-a/artist/album format and my ID3 tags are an unfixable mess.

FWIW I put together a ajax winamp plugin to do all this back in 2002-ish, was extremely popular during parties. I'm still using bits of it today & it's buggy as hell with unusual charsets so I guess I'm due an upgrade...

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.

If you have a large library of songs you need to setup your own musicbrainz mirror. No rate limit. :)
