Great guide, thanks for sharing.
I would like to add that for people who may be intimidated by the tagging section, the tags that Deemix gives you are usually pretty decent to start with. You can clean them up to match your preferred format with a couple of quick mp3tag shortcuts. The hardest part is rectifying genres, which it looks like a lot of your automation is designed to do.
mp3tag is an amazing tool and anyone with a big music collection would be well served to study it!
QFT!!
My current genre process is more hands-on but it's working for me. When I grab something, usually a complete discography, I look up the artist on Discogs, and use their genre pick. Sometimes I will put in specific genres for specific albums but usually, one genre for the whole discography is good enough.
Normally I can tolerate the Discogs genre picks, and this gives me a pretty consistent and bounded list of genres used in my library.
But like you said, it can never be perfect. Organizing my library can be kind of soothing though, like playing solitaire.
