Alternatives to the Music App on my new Mac, to play my own music collection

Typical Mac users continually replying to continue trying to use an app the OP clearly doesn't care for. Im OS Agnostic - I seriously don't have an issue using Mac or Windows. I am an Network Engineer and I support both. I have both, but the one thing that has always annoyed me about Macs isn't the Mac itself, its the users who pretty much are such a cult they cant believe that anyone would want to use something Apple didn't create. The music app sucks if your more than a casual music collector. I, like the OP have a ton of music - currently at 5 TB. Some of it I constantly listen to, some of it rarely, but what i have a taste to hear can change on a dime.

There are a lot more music managers out there than the Music app, some better than others, some for free and some that have a reasonable price and others that are insane.

My answer for the OP is this: Your probably going to use a combination of apps because I have not found a reasonably priced one that does everything I want AND has a good player app.

Personally, I use MusicBrainz Picard to organize. It is phenomenal for tagging and has hundreds of free plugins, and there are paid ones that provide even more database access. Its easy to use and gets somewhat regular updates. I use Swinsian for a player. It has some good oranization capabilities but I still prefer Picard.
