The metadata from the music industry is crazy unstable, "Africa" from Toto is known to have an absurd of number of unique listings each with different metadata.

Music streaming providers need to sort that shit out and make sure you don't show the user duplicates. The music labels don't give a damn about normalizing the metadata.

LLMs can help classify this stuff a lot easier with minimal human review.

If the streaming platforms cared strongly about this problem they could have addressed it already, so I'm not confident they'll use LLMs effectively to do it without making the problem (or at least edge cases) even worse somehow. I think it would take a different business goal driving their algorithms to, for example, stop playing MF DOOM for 8 songs in a row under different aliases.
