I’m curious what plugins people like the most and find the most useful.

I've been maintaining a self-hosted music library for so long (30+ years now), there used to not be any tools for editing metadata. I used to have to go into file properties and manually edit the data for each individual MP3 file. Nowadays, I use Mp3tag to manually edit entire albums at a time. I have ADHD though (the hyperfixation kind), so I've literally dedicated thousands of hours to manually fixing metadata.

I guess I never bothered to look for more advanced tools to auto-update metadata. I had to go in and manually fix stuff that updated automatically from the Internet in the past, so I guess I stopped trusting online databases. But they've really advanced since the last time I went searching for tools, and their databases are a lot more complete in this day and age. I'm gonna play around with some of these programs and see how well they work.

I host my music library through Plex, then use Symfonium on my phone if I want to stream my Plex music remotely, just because I like their interface a little better than Plex's.

OMFG. Never knew there was something so awesome as Symfonium. Thanks! So easy to connect it to my Plex instance. GLEEEEEE.

+1 for MP3Tag; it’s a wonderful tool and I’m overdue to donate to them.

I also use Plex to host the music but use PlexAmp for playback; the additional features (Sonic Adventure / “DJs”/etc.) are great features.

MP3Tag sounds cool, but there's no Linux version it seems :(

I came from MP3Tag and the closest Linux version I found is puddletag it's litterally written to be the same.

I use it for some metadata editing that - in my case - I can't seem to get Picard to do (might just need to RTFM a bit more)
