Music library management

I'm looking to ditch Spotify. To replace it, I want to rebuild my music library with files and folders. To wit, I'm looking for a MacOS application that sits on top of the file library and lets me interface with my music.

Features I would like:

  • A simple and functional user interface centered around artists and albums.

  • Good search functionality.

  • In no way, shape or form does the software modify the files and folders that make up the library.

  • The only exception to the above would be, if the software supports it, me actively adding or modifying metadata through the interface.

I'll be storing the library on a network drive, so it obviously needs to support that.

The dream: A companion app for iOS that lets me browse, listen and download files to my device for when I'm out of the house.
