Music matching is misaligned & Artist metadata refresh does not work as expected

Server Version#: 1.32.6.7468

I include two videos of the issue in action.

First sometimes when I try to match a song, the results seem to avoid the song I am looking for, but when I try to match a differrent song, the previous song appears on the list.

Secondly, when the results match the song, I can match the song from the menu by tapping match, and I can sometimes use “Refresh Metadata” on the song itself, but when I do it, on the Artist, it does not automatically match the songs.

All the songs I am trying to match are in the Musicbrainz database, as shown in the video.

Plex does not match songs.
It does match “album artists” and it does match “albums”.
Trying to force it to do single songs is an exercise in futility.

Sorry, I meant singles, not to be rude but your statement suggest you did not watch the videos.

I did not indeed. I won’t go to some random site and open files from an unknown source.
(The fact that I’m paranoid doesn’t mean that they are not after me.)

Matching singles in Plex should be possible, however.
Treat them exactly the same as albums, according to the above linked articles.

Like so:

When replying, this is something you should have stated. I guess streaming video is not a thing you believe in. Also the best way to approach such a concern is by having a good defense. Is there a video site besides Youtube you trust?

None of that applies nor helps in this situation.

I think it very much does.

The second video refutes that because, I already have my files organized better(with year and bitrate in brackets) than that.
