In the process of cleaning up my large (27,000+ tracks) music library after importing into Plex. Discovered that several (don’t know how many) albums were imported with no tag (genre) information. I know I can filter the library by tag, but don’t know how to filter for that music that isn’t tagged. Anybody know how to search or display music that has no tags?
Easy enough to update the tags, but how do I isolate those specific albums that are not tagged in Plex? Any way to sort or filter tracks or albums that do NOT have tags? (FWIW, the few I’ve accidentally stumbled upon tended to be classical albums …)
I don’t think there’s a way in Plex to do what you’re asking, but you can at least get a count of how many albums you have without genres. Without using any filters, note the number of albums at the top. Then go to Filters > genre and select all the filters, and note the count again. The difference will at least tell you how big a job you have ahead of you.
Dang it, I have three.
I think there is nothing within Plex which could help with this task.
You probably have to turn to specialised software like Musicbrainz Picard or mp3tag.
A very crude way would be to load a folder worth of files into mp3tag, and then simply ‘sort’ the view after the ‘Tag’ column. But this only shows you whether a file has no tag at all - not if it has all necessary tags for Plex.
Any way to display the Plex library as a database or spreadsheet? That way I could visually see which titles don’t have tags… Going through thousands of albums one-by-one really isn’t a feasible option…
There’s the Plex2CSV plugin. I don’t know if it exports the tag info that you need, but it may be worth a try.
The Plex database is completely separate from your files’ internal metatags. You won’t find this information there.
