If you do, check out plexamp.

You can self host a small Plex server on a raspberry pi and store all the music there. Play via plexamp and Plex does all the metadata for you

Use jellyfin instead, its FOSS and amazing.

The eternal debate, Jellyfin vs. Plex 😀

I tried both, i prefer Plex (also because my TV doesn't have a Jellyfin App and i don't want to have another mini-PC just to play Jellyfin on my TV)

To each their own of course, I just want other people to be aware of an alternative to Plex if they haven't heard about it.

I hear great things about Jellyfin, but I'm in the Plex camp too. The availability of the Plex app is a big factor. I'm a bit biased in that I bought a lifetime membership years ago so I get all the premium features as well. I believe they still offer deals on plex lifetime membership from time to time. It is really worth it!

Yup, got the 20% off of lifetime a couple months ago.

Didn't regret it.
