I’ve repeadly tried to set up the music meta tags so Plex would load the songs properly. I always get Various Artest for all songs. Why can’t Plex just use the meta data that’s there instead of having to modify it, just to fail. The meta data I have is used with other programs just fine.

Have you configured Plex to prefer local metadata?

Are you sure that your tags are correct?
