What meta information should I use?

I see many different points of view on the Internet regarding meta tags . I have been using them for a while, but now I am wondering if I am doing this using current best practices.

I know the description is the most important ...

<meta name="description" content="This is not a website" />

But what about another meta tag? Should I use anything other than a description tag? For example, some say that using a keyword is a bad practice right now because some site has abused them and this could lead to the website getting into the spam folder of the search engine.

Finally, What is the best practice for writing a description meta tag? Using my personal example, right now I have a website linking to different songs. Should I do:

 <meta name="description" content="MyWebsite - Here, there are songs" />

or something similar on each page:

 <meta name="description" content="Song Title X, Artist Y" />

or:

 <meta name="description" content="MyWebsite - Here, there are songs | Song Title X, Artist Y" />

or any combination of the previous ... or something else?

Thanks!

Each page should have its own meta description, the description is used to display data about the page after it is displayed on the search results screen.

I do not know why I received a negative vote on my comment, but let me clarify, in the hope that the vote will be canceled.

Keyword meta tags are important tags for search engines. In the case of a music site, you can add something like the following. Then, when search engines examine your site, they will know what words you specifically want your site to be associated with.

Here is an example: <meta name = "keywords" content = "Rock, Jazz, Bluegrass, Blues, Bass, Guitar, 60s, 70s" />

I do not use all of your description meta tags. Let me dwell in more detail.

At first, it’s good to read (as you know, these descriptions will be presented in the search), but it’s not so accurate! Not good for your SEO.

Second, good for SEO, not for readers.

A third is better than the first two, but you need to polish them.

PS you can add a few more words to it.
