I’m working on building a personal alternative to Spotify and YouTube Music and I’ve hit two roadblocks.
Genre labeling in my library is inconsistent and manually updating 2500+ MP3s isn’t feasible. I’ve tried using beets with the LastFM plugin in quiet mode but no luck. Any ideas?
Where can I bulk download diverse music catalogs? I’ve snagged some ‘top 90s/80s/hiphop/etc’ collections, but 2500 songs don’t go far.
What I miss about Spotify and YouTube Music is their ability to auto-play similar tunes based on my current selection. Any advice would be appreciated.

Organizing and keeping track: Lidarr
There are alternatives to lidarr but that’s what I did for my ~300 files.
Picard matches by current metadata and to some extend by acoustic ID (similar to shazam).
Still better to review files before commiting the metadata (album, year, version, miss matched releases similar releases in name by cover bands or release name etc.)
For downloading more: I had great success with scarce releases (rare touhou songs) on soulseek.
