I’m looking for something to automatically tag some old music files I have sitting around. I’ve been working with Picard, but a lot of albums are not in MusicBrainz, and adding them has been a serious PITA. Is there any kind of software that either:

Can apply metadata directly from a streaming service (like this script for adding albums to MusicBrainz does)?
Can simply allow me to manually edit metadata with an interface that isn’t completely awful to use?

or even:

Two separate tools, one to grab metadata and another to manually add it (maybe a CLI interface for batch operations?)

Appreciative of any advice—I just hope there’s a better way, with how tedious this can be.

EDIT: Just to specify, I’m on NixOS.

I haven't tried, but if you're on linux you could try puddletag. OneTagger is very powerfull too (and cross platform). I also have some extra tools that may help you in this guide I made here (it's a guide on how to semi-automatically download and tag music, for a windows pc).
