5. Drawbacks and Risks

• Metadata Mismatches: Because it is less strict about MusicBrainz IDs, there is a higher risk of mis-tagging (e.g., downloading a "Greatest Hits" version of a song when the original album version was required, or misidentifying an artist with a common name).
• Resource Intensity: The script runs periodic background scans that can be CPU and I/O intensive, particularly on large libraries.
