I LOVE Plex for my movies and have been storing thousands of movies and tv shows. I know that the world is moving to SiriusXM, Pandora, and Spotify for music, but I have thousands of mp3’s that I’ve been collecting for 20+ years, some of them ripped from CD’s, etc. I’ve tried MyMusic server for Alexa, but it has limits. It would be cool if 1) I could just ask Alexa to play a song, artist, or playlist from my plex server, and B) if Plex had an option to scan my “Track” titles from “Unknown Album” and provide meta-data (name, artist, album cover). Probably a pipe dream, but it would be cool!
1 - You can already have Alexa do that. Getting Started with Alexa Voice Control | Plex Support
2 - I’m unclear on this. If you mean to scan your embedded metadata in a file, PMS can already do that.
Thanks for the info. I’ll look into it. The second part of my question was about the ability to clean up my personal library. I am loaded with untitled CD’s with no metadata, mostly from years ago when metadata wasn’t really embedded. There used to be software you could purchase that identified audio by its byte signature and then loaded the metadata but they went bankrupt a decade ago
Do you have at least some information about your music?
e.g. do you have it stored by 1 folder per album?
or is at least the artist name and/or the album title contained in the folder name?
