Added just over 1000 songs to my library. It's added a large chunk into a single album

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Server Version#: 1.21.0.3711
Player Version#: 1.24.0.1483-714cba36 / Web App / PlexAmp

So as the title said. I’ve added just over 1000 music tracks I had on my Google Play Music. As they are closing down I thought I’d just move them over to Plex instead.

I have them all using the naming convention: \music\artist\album\track - song.mp3
As I’ve seen mentioned elsewhere that that is what Plex likes.
However, it’s sorted a HUGE chunk of the music into a completely unrelated Album. Hundreds of tracks. Almost all of them.

I’ve used Mp3tag to check and confirm that the metadata is fine. VLC player picks up the meta data fine, even picking up album art that Plex is ignoring.

Unsure what to do. Plex has taken the files and absolutely destroyed all the sorting that is already built into them.

Could you make a screenshot of one album with all its file names, folder structure and meta tags, similar to this one:
