Apple Music.

Absolutely, and I say this as someone with tons of custom ripped music in various esoteric formats from 15+ years of managing my music digitally (and a 5 year stint or so in the iTunes world).

If you're on Apple hardware and you just want music stuff that works, use their software. It makes the easy things incredibly easy.

Agreed. Although I echo another commenter about wanting real tagging functionality in a manager. Also Music app has some ongoing bugs that just seem to never be fixed, the main one for me related to embedded artwork.

For quickly tagging / getting artwork for random stuff like individual songs ripped from YouTube I use Yate’s [0] Discogs Wizard. It’s very configurable and fast to use once you set things up.

Edit: will add that Yate is actively developed and I only remember paying for my license once. I would happily pay for upgrades given its utility over the years.
