Tagging Apple Music app files

Apple Music app on macOS 11.1

Is there way (ideally reliable software) to tag files which Big Sur now opens in Apple Music - as I used to be able to do in iTunes, please?

I have a large collection of Audible files - and like to have control of metadata :-)

Thanks in advance!

large music collection Music app and tag fields i have a relatively large collection of albums and songs. invested over the years and the majority of it is unprotected aac and some mp3 as well as aiff files. i spent a lot of time organizing, sorting, renaming and redoing tag info for the music collection in order to line it up with my plex media server. but i also want to sync the collection to my ios devices so i have it imported into the macOS Music library. in short, after i am done tagging and organizing everything, i want to lock all the media content as read only files (every song file), to prevent unintentional or unacknowledged changes to tag info. i have noticed over the years that several useless tag fields are present in older music files, many of them starting with “ITUNES…”, url fields, copyright fields, etc. mostly junk ! if i make all my music files read only will i have issues in the Music app with playback ?

Apple Music Library search on (os catalina) when using search in my music library - unlike Itunes where you could use the artist name and part of the song title to find it - I can't do that with Apple Music ??? ..example - if I typed Sean temperature you would expect to see Sean Paul in the results..however my search just says not found - when the file is in my library and correctly tagged. How can I fix or refine this?

Remove "Explicit" Tag from Apple Music Tracks in My Library? How can I remove the "explicit" tag from tracks I've downloaded into my library from Apple Music? It appears that the filing system makes mistakes sometimes, because some of the music marked as explicit doesn't contain explicit content or even lyrics at all (Ex: Konstellaatio - Mika Vainio). For someone who tries to keep a tightly-organized organized library, this is very frustrating. It is possible, right? Nearly every other element of downloaded music is customizable.
