For duplicates dupeGuru's Music Mode should suffice (don't be overly aggressive when batch deleting files!)
Then tag and sort them with MusicBrainz Picard (again, take it slow. Picard is great and all but not every automated match is correct and I always check mine if they're correct)
After doing that start taking notes while listening to your Music in case you detect something is wrong (missed duplicate, wrong/partial metadata, etc) which allows you to fix these errors later on
I'd also recommend you do backups along the way because dupeGurus and Picards changes can't be undone and as a beginner you're likely to do mistakes till your accustomed to the process
That's what I did and will continue to do with my 1500 songs (for now)
I also prefer to sync my music from my PC to my phone via rsync (any sync application should suffice). But that's just me, because imo offline playback is the way to go
And also PixelSpoof for Magisk, although this one seems quite unknown.
As always be careful what Magisk modules you install, malicious ones can fuck you up badly.
Personally I'd try Pixelify (seems legit enough) and wouldn't touch the other with a 3 foot pole. You do you though
Why is it that smaller people can do seemingly obvious features like custom user-controlled site rankings, but the big players are completely incapable of that?
Because that would give control to the user. And we all know they hate us having that because they can't shove their shit down our throats then
I don't think it is in backups only. My guess is they store your full edit history for each comment/post/whatever. Newest one will be shown on the frontend, rest is for data vampires
Get my Music from different sources (most streaming services can be downloaded from) and then tag them with MusicBrainz Picard. Sorts them neatly, gives them mostly way more metadata than any other streaming service and sometimes I tag them by myself
Currently using Symphony on android because it supports user defined artist metadata seperators (really wish more music apps would have that feature)
On PC I'm using mpc and controll it mostly via cli
They already have a confirmation box when you try to change the extension
I think you overestimate the average users willingness to read anything. Only thing they know is how to bitch about things not working even when they were told exactly why it's not working/what they did (wrong)
