Feature request or how-to Plex Music Collections

Loose folders full of tracks from mixed artists and/or albums are not supported.
Plex will always try to ingest them into its database, organized by
Music > Artist > Album > Tracks

(Plex may even fail to properly recognize the music if it is not organized on disk by the above structure. So I recommend you to stick to it.)

So, all the music is ingested first into the database with a fixed “OCD-like” organisation. :wink:

If you then want a way to select some of these tracks to be played, use playlists.

Or use the new Radios, which are some kind of automatic playlist generators which make a playlist based on certain conditions.

You can also make ‘smart playlists’ which use several conditions you define to dynamically generate a playlist. [HowTo] Create Playlists
