music libraries and embedded tags nightmare

Hi everyone,

I have a plex server via Synology and I am desperately trying to have the music library specifically and ONLY used with the embedded tags that I have myself filled in via iTunes. Unfortunately, even following the instructions and un/ticking all the options it doesn’t work AT ALL! As easy as it is, all the music is considered as [Untitled music] - [Untitled tracks] and that is quite insane!

I do not want to use Plex Pass Premium as it does not meet my requirements and I feel a little helpless here.

Is there anything I should do or that I forgot to do here?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Cheers,
Claudio

Well, which instructions did you follow?

When you created the music library, did you decline the offer to create a Premium library?
In which order do the lines appear under
Settings - Server - Agents - Albums - Personal Albums
and under
Settings - Server - Agents - Albums - last.fm
(‘Local Media Assets’ should be active and in top position)

Which primary agent is selected under the properties of your music library (‘Advanced’ tab) ?
