    MusicBrainz Cover art is from the Internet Archive’s Cover Art Archive, and you can edit it easily via the musicbrainz.org website. You can also use https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/ to update the medatata with stuff from streaming sites automatically.

    Alternatively, you can install a plugin from Picard to download from, for example, Deezer or Apple Music. You can also grab a plugin to do replaygain, to get a more normalised audio volumes, like on streaming services.

    For local music recommendations, you can try experimenting with listenbrainz local right now, if a bit experamental. It is essentially the Listenbrainz recommender on a local library. Building a better system for local music is on the MetaBrainz team’s mind, and my final year project for University is going to be related as well (maybe follow me for updates if you’re interested). I don’t think automatically downloading from Spotify or whatever will happen though because of legal issues with that - maybe there’ll be the ability to add plugins to do that. However, you can use the MusicBrainz database to get the exact Spotify link for many tracks (thanks to the Harmony importer lol). Ideally sharing libraries with your friends would be possible, though.
