Music Library - Can't Force Plex to Use Local Metadata

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

I’m trying to import my FLAC music collection into Plex as a Library. I have carefully edited the file metadata in MP3Tag and selected “Prefer Local Metadata” in the Plex Advanced settings. However, when Plex scans my files, it insists on importing album titles and cover art from elsewhere. How can I force Plex to only use my metadata?

Unfortunately, under Settings > Agents > Artists and Settings > Agents > Albums, I don’t have a " prioritize your meta data " option. The Last.fm tickbox is selected and greyed out.

This is very frustrating. I have carefully compiled metadata, but I can’t get Plex to use it in the Music library.

You prioritize the agents by dragging them up/down to put them in the order you want.

Here’s everything you need to do to give local metadata top priority:

Many thanks for the quick response. Reordering the agents fixed the problem.
