Many artist biographies in Allmusic are very long, comprising several paragraphs. When Plex imports these bios, the paragraph separations are lost, which looks bad, and makes reading less pleasant.
It would be nice if Plex imported this text and presented it intact.
definitely.
you have my virtual vote, because I don’t have any extra left. 
I’ll give one of mine in your stead.
I see that Plex doesn’t always preserve capitalization in this situation either.
This bio for Nat King Cole:
What Plex did with it:
I’m tempted to vote, because they are unreadable,. But you can have my virtual vote too, until one of my real votes frees up
Dunno when it changed, but the last couple of times I’ve added a new artist to my music library, there are paragraph breaks in the bios, and it’s readable. And after checking a couple of dozen artists that were previously in the library, they all looked good too. (Windows - Version 1.18.8.2468)
Just thought I’d mention it - that it appears to be fixed, and maybe the thread can be closed and votes returned.
This is working
Please look at the Plex XML info of one of his tracks.
What is in the grandParentGuid?
It must start with "plex://artist/...
If there is anything else in there, the artist is still matched to either last.fm, or Gracenote, or Personal Media. Which means it won’t use the new code, which has the bugfix for the ‘paragraph issue’.
Verify that Scanner and Agent are set to ‘Plex Music’ in the prefs of the library.
Then ‘Refresh Metadata’ for this artist. (or ‘Fix Match’)
I agree that this is working, as long as the bio comes from AllMusic.
There’s also the case where grandParentGuid="plex://artist/... but AllMusic doesn’t have a bio, so the ‘Plex Music’ scanner still reverts to Last.FM. This results in the missing paragraph breaks.
Do they plan to fix all cases?
The capitalization issue is still present.
AllMusic:
Do you have a few example artists, please?
Here’s one. I’ll try to find a couple more.
The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem
grandparentGuid="plex://artist/5d07bbfe403c6402904a705d"
Key of Dreams
grandparentGuid="plex://artist/5d07bdb2403c6402906113d8"
Golden Bough
grandparentGuid="plex://artist/5d07bc10403c6402904b42a4"
Golden Bough may not be useful. Their Last.FM bio has no paragraph breaks.
