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:

  1. A simple and functional user interface centered around artists and albums.
  2. Good search functionality.
  3. In no way, shape or form does the software modify the files and folders that make up the library.
  4. 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.
