I’m wondering how do you guys organize digital music library (either on laptop or DAC) for best experience?

I personally use DAC and what I do is to download whole albums and put it in. Benefit: very tidy, looks nice. Drawbacks: you have to listen to the whole album (some people prefer to do this).

Streaming: Benefit: the playlists are nice. Drawback: on DAC it is slow, and you don’t own the music, and the library can get messy when you add too many stuff.

I wonder which method do you prefer? Or does it depend on occations?

    For my offline music library I manually edit the tag/info/metadata from Oto or Musicolet.

    Then I use Oto Music Player to download synced lyrics coz it can automatically download the synced lyric with one press of a button.

    Then I use Musicolet to download album art. I manually download HD image for album art from google (usually from Apple music).

    Now I have 1000+ meticulously organized FLAC files, outside that I still have many music files that not tagged properly.

    Edit: All that files already organized by artist/album artist per folder. Then I manually transfer all that edited file to my external drive for backup.

    I mainly use Retro Music player from my Android phone coz it’s simple and pleasant UI. (Tho I hope Retro can have all that Oto and Musicolet feature I mention, plus Hiby/UAPP bit perfect feature).
