Hey guys, I’ve got several albums that are unmatched. Most of them are unmatched because it’s a smaller release or something, so that’s fine. But I’ve had to unmatch some well known albums because the release year changes if leave it which is very annoying. I’m a fan of keeping the original release…

I use Tag Scanner to tag all of my music files, then I just tell Plex to look to my embedded tags.

I’ve never found that to work for me (FLAC) I prefer to remove the ambiguity by using a proper filename with matching minimal tag. Frankly, I don’t trust tag editors. Same goes for my other content too. I strip the embedded stuff and rely on the file name. I have found, if the names are rig…

I use use MusicBrainz too and the albums I’m having issues with have the metadata I want, it’s just when I match them in Plex the year changes to the new release year, instead of the original year that is tagged on the files. I thought MusicBrainz might have been causing the issue, but after some t…

Can you give me some examples? I’ll create test files and see what happens when I run them through.

Ok, I’ve got the collectors edition of Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. This edition came out in 2015, but the original version came out in 1995.

coincidentally, I have “Jagged Little Pill” in a test library I created trying to solve another problem. The files are tagged and matched with Picard, and the file structure is according to the Support Articles for the new music system Nowhere in those articles is it mentioned to include the year …

That would have to come as a feature request and surely would be a “bag of cats” problem given how music is recycled. I think it’s a good idea if everyone wants to flush out the ideal functionality in a feature request. When done, I will submit it to Engineering. I know they are always looking …

I’m pretty sure it’s been a long standing feature request. :wink: [image] Tag support for ROBUST music library organization Feature Suggestions This is a request for comprehensive support of the ID3/Vorbis/etc. tags that are necessary for truly meaningful and complete org…

All of the music processing has been completely overhauled from the ground up. If there is room now to augment, it’s appropriate. A solid case would need be made. Else, we’re left to this thread & topic to discern the finite details of how Little Jagged Pill and its release is best handled in …
