  • Picard uses audio fingerprinting and the musicbrainz DB to match the items. If the items are in the DB, then it will find them. If they aren’t, then they can be added.

    There are other similar tools (although they might not have graphical UIs) which also use additional metadata backends and allow complex manipulation of audio files. I personally use beets which can be configured to use Musicbrainz, Spotify, Deezer, Discogs and Bandcamp for metadata (it will also help with file manipulation, audio normalization, fetch cover art and many other things). It seems that there is a plugin called ‘ytimport’ which integrates with SoundCloud and YouTube. That might help with your specific question, though I did not test it.

    Beware that the latest release of beets (2.5.x at the time of writing) is quite fresh and might break some plugins. I personally will stick with 2.4.x for a while.

    Testing a normal Linux installation sounds like a good idea. In my opinion it’s better to transition to Linux than switch. That way you can go back to your previous system setup and see what you are missing or need without having to open your computer and swap hardware. If you can add the old or new SSD as an external drive and so that you can can boot then your plan might work out.
