Love musicbrainz.

Recently me and a bunch of DJs reinvented how we manage metadata for our collections.

The TL;DR is use SQLite for everything. Both a local central database describing the entire catalog, and one “sidecar” database for every song representing its individual metadata.

The huge advantage is it stores metadata that ID3 tags never imagined like beat grids and phrases and cue points.

The other advantage is agents crush manipulating data that is in SQLite. Chatting with my music collection feels better than any music library app did.

Of course tools also import and export to native audio file tags and use the musicbrainz API.

Looking for feedback and other music nerds that want to collaborate on this approach.
