Roon (Music Player)

Roon handles metadata and relationships between entities the least bad of anything I’ve tried. It’ll do things like link covers and live performances of the same song together, or let you group multiple issues of the same album and switch between them. It’s not cheap, and it takes some effort to fix some bad source data, but I’ve found it very rewarding and get a ton of enjoyment exploring my library now. https://roonlabs.com/.

Every Noice at Once

Because music is as messy as humans, and whatever we catalogue is arbitrary at best. See Every Noise: https://everynoise.com/ Is modern chamber music different from modern classical, and why? How different are Polish free jass and free imporvisation? Canadian black metal and Norwegian black metal and Dutch black metal? To some, there's no difference. To others, there's a world of difference. Here's more on the difficulties: https://everynoise.com/EverynoiseIntro.pdf.
