Looking for an app to reorganize my old MP3 collection (lemmy.ca)

I have this collection of mp3s from the 90s-2000s from before the streaming services era. Back when people used Winamp or XMMS to listen to their music. I backed up my music files in two places and they're both organized differently.

I need a tool to go through the whole thousands of files, find out what each track is (artist, album, track title, track number all that meta data), rename the file accordingly and apply all the metadata, then move the file in a certain directory structure.

Are there any music organizers out there that can do this? Or do I have to implement my own script?

Can't believe that project is still going, I used to use it in early 2000's to organize my 20,0000 mp3 collection back then. I've since switched to spotify/YouTube, so don't have too many mp3's I listen to anymore, but man, the name brings me back.

Huh. I'm not that old, but now it makes sense why it gives the "ancient tech in a candywrap" vibe. I like the thing, though.
