Unless something has changed recently, MusicBrainz Picard is my go-to, and what I usually see recommended.

Don't think it has webm or mp4 support. I might be wrong on that though. My collection is mostly flac, mp3, m4a, and the occasional ancient wma I've carried forward since high school.

Tsm for the answer (sorry for the delay, I was in a traffic jam, jk). At the end I gived up and ended redownloading my whole playlist in m4a with yt-dlp and directly with the metadata, so I saved a lot of times and a lot of problems haha

You might want to check this out too:

beets: music library manager and MusicBrainz tagger. It has a dozen more other features.

Thank you! For sure I'll check it. I love finding new tools with features I didn't even know I wanted
