Music metadata cleanup tools

This cluster consists of tools that rename and reorganize music files by reading or matching embedded metadata tags, with some pulling from online databases. The dated history shows a sporadic timeline with entries in 2008, 2013, 2021, 2025, and 2026, indicating intermittent activity rather than a clear trend. Traction leaders are musicrename, FileBot, and music-file-organizer, all currently showing zero stars, so they lead only by being listed first in activity signal.
