Just a request for a composer field. I had posted this somewhere else, and was recommended to try here. I understand that classical music metadata is a challenge, but the addition of a composer field would be a simple way to satisfy the majority of classical music fans. ITunes has this feature an…

I spent a day-and-a-half trying to figure out/beat Plex’s inconsistent method of interpreting the tags on my classical files. I got around the problem by ignoring miserable Plex’s attempt to classify classical albums and grab my cds by looking at my folder, which are organized by composer/compositio…

Another vote for the composer field, and a general vote for a more robust music player all around. My goal is to use Plex as my primary music streaming service while I am traveling (which I do ALOT)… implementing the composer field would truly make this possible. Enhancing the overall experience w…

+1 for composer tag. It would be great to add more, but that would be a good first start - I think many people who love classical music have carefully curated composer tags in their libraries. Being able to browse by this would be really useful…

none of the +1 or comments in this thread really matter. the only thing plex (says) it cares about is the votes in a feature request, in the feature request section. this request probably most corresponds to one of the existing threads @ ID3 Tag support for ROBUST music library organization Feat…

The +1 and “me too” comments might not matter, but it’s good to see solidarity on the issue. I’ve been asking for and about this for years, so it’s nice to see that I’m not the only one that wants to get this change in.

Well when Plex decided to limit the amount of votes one can use, what else can you do to support a feature request? And let’s be honest every other MP3 player supports the composer field. It’s something you should expect by default. The Plex Devs are either lazy or incompetent.

PLEX please, add the COMPOSER FIELD in the next release. Still better : add it field like an option parameters. Thank’s a lot !

[image] beckfield: I would think the composer tag would be for the author, and the artist tag for the narrator. Everywhere j have seen uses the author as the artist and composer as the narrator (audible, audiobooks.com )

+1 to add the soundtrack composer Field. The music is a main feature of a movie as an actor rôle. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!
