Yes, I do as well, though primarily I use Foobar2000. I don't think
Foobar is necessarily better, it's just what I started with so it's
still easier for me.

I probably made things confusing when I referred to LMS “organizing”. In
that context, I meant that it allows me to select artists or albums or
tracks and send them to one or any combination of the several players I
have around the house. Without proper tags, things won't group together
properly. You'd have the same issue on any of various portable devices,
too. Of course, if you only ever navigate a library via directories and
files, tagging is far less important.

In some edge cases, even that doesn't work, for example
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Zapped/master/175655 vs.
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Zappéd/release/1150699
<https://www.discogs.com/Various-Zapp%C3%A9d/release/1150699>. I own and
have digitized both versions and have them served up as “Zappéd [version
one]” and “Zappéd [version two]”. Granted, that's really an outlier. (I
know, there's no accent on the cover in the first version…but there is
on the label.)

Here's literally everything anyone needs to know about Yahoo: It's now
owned by V*r*z*n. I worked there for too many years and am
overwhelmingly happy that I'm now retired. The place is a chaotic,
sadistic mess.
