  This is some ignorant FUD. Everything you just listed is technology companies, who get blamed for every computer failure whether its their fault or not, trying to prevent those problems. TrustedComputing and TPM is a direct answer to malware. UEFI a direct answer to ever increasingly complicated computer hardware, kernel-level DRM is a direct answer to software piracy and online game cheaters.

  These things are implemented because there’s a lot of people making a lot of money ruining the lives of people who just want to use their computer.

  Musicbrainz Picard --> mp3Tag --> MusicBee

  • Picard handles the initial tagging.
  • mp3Tag handles the clean-up. I like things “just so”, and some of the time Picard goes rogue. The Actions function is super powerful for automating “fixing” tags. Oh, and you can cut, filter and paste an entire directory’s worth of song tags if you want to bulk remove a bunch of unwanted tags that Picard adds.
  • MusicBee is the database. I like the Inbox feature that allows me to do a last check before “promoting” the files to my master library.

  There are portable versions of all three, so you can lock a version in your music directory and never worry about updates ruining your tags.
