What I do is quite simple and rudimentary. For example, I have all my
music files stored on a hard drive on my Raspberry. As a media server I
use GNUMP3d, which is pretty clunky and outdated, but it works fine and
is very easy for me to administer. GNUMP3d serves a local web page with
the list of titles and artists. I convert that web to an Org node using
org-web-tools (https://github.com/alphapapa/org-web-tools), and some
extra elisp to clean up inconsistencies and format everything so that
each artist/title is a sub-tree. The process is not quite fine-tuned: I
have to see how labels and properties could be added automatically:
music gender, year, etc.
org-web-tools is an interesting project, but if you have access to files
it should be easier to extract all meta information directly using e.g.
exiftool -json file.mp3
or another tool suitable to particular format. It seems emms has
interface to various tools.
P.S. You may try to adapt common LISP implementation of ID3 parser
