Why Plex does not use correct/my Tag3 metadata for my music, don’t get me wrong if I have a normal music Album everything its ok (album art, artists, song, etc) but as soon I make/build my own playlists/album of random songs (which each song has his own album/song art Tag) Plex only shows this first song/album art throughtout the entirely album I made from various artists.
I don’t know if plex read this but if they do can this be fix please?

A playlist is one thing. You can make playlists in Plex.
An album is a wholly different thing. There are strict rules for albums in Plex. Creating Frankenstein albums will not work in Plex.
