MusicBrainz Picard VS Yate

Have you tried https://www.funkwhale.audio/? It can be used effectively as a "private spotify". Labeling is a solved problem thanks to https://picard.musicbrainz.org/, and the fact that a lot of the music you buy these days comes pre-labeled already. You then have a web-app (and/or a mobile app, if that's your thing) where you can stream music as you would with Spotify. You can even build yourself a little... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

I use picard for my collection. My work flow is Picard > Lyrics Finder > Foobar for BPM, RealGain and DR > Custom python script to pull genre and mood from Last.FM and spotify> then Advanced Renamer to perform naming clean up of folder names.

Tip for the community if you’re a KJ or enthusiast who uses a Mac. There is a utility called Yate that is a Swiss Army knife for ID3 tagging, file renaming etc etc. Complex, but very powerful.. Anyway, I wanted to use it to cleanup some of the tags and file naming on my collection. Since I Use CDG’s it was important that they match the MP3 file name before the suffix. I contacted the developer and he churned... Source: about 1 year ago

With Mac OS, is there a way to open a folder in two apps at the same time? I will often drag a folder containing music files to the task bar, onto to an app icon in order to load the files. Usually I'll do this once for IINA to play the files and repeat the process for Yate so that I can edit the metadata while I listen. Ideally, I would like to do this with a single action.
