I strongly suggest to always tag your own music. I think expecting to always finding every album tagged to your own (or you media center's) specifications and preferences in one place is a fantasy. At least it's one that I've given up on more than a decade ago. Your music will always come from multiple different sources and I don't think there is (or ever can be) one golden goose.

So yeah, +1 for Musicbrainz Picard. I'll throw in Puddletag for small manual corrections.

So I actually made a python script yesterday that uses spotify's web api to make a list of urls of every song on every album that I've liked one or more songs on. I then wrote a shell script which takes the file with all the urls and fetches the songs as 320 kbps mp3 files with a tool called zotify using a burner premium account I made. Unfortunately, it can only download songs in real time and will probably take around a month to finish downloading all the songs so I just set it to run on my vps. The mp3 files are good quality and have proper tagging and album art. I think I may have done it.

Would you be willing to share your scripts?

Well, I'll be darned - I hope it works out!
