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?

Ah ok. Maybe I've done it the wrong way. I'll try again.

There may be a way to organise a library in place but I'm not home until tomorrow so can't check at the moment
