I have found that my plex media server (v1.13.0.5023) does not fully scan the folders and find all my music. I’m sure this is happening in quite a few folders, but the example I found is the following: This folder: …\_Artists\David Guetta\Listen Again has 22 tracks, naming convention: David Guetta - Listen Again (D1) - 01 - Dangerous (feat. Sam Martin) … David Guetta - Listen Again (D1) - 14 - The Whisperer (feat. Sia) David Guetta - Listen Again (D2) - 01 - Bang my Head (feat. Sia & Fetty Wap) … David Guetta - Listen Again (D2) - 08 - Bang My Head (Feat. Sia) [Glowinthedark Remix] plex identifies the first 15 files only. all the “D1” files, and the 1st “D2” file. No clue why… scanning, fix metadata, nothing changes it. **Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Or how to fix it?** I’m assuming this occurring in multiple folders that I have not yet manually identified too… thanks ---

Wrong naming convention. I believe the following information is still valid: > **[Organizing Music - Soundtracks and Various Artists (Hit collections)](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1050849/#Comment_1050849)** > > I am going to do a bit of copy/paste of posts I did in the Plex Pass only forums: ===== 1.“Various Artists” is the usual choice for ‘Sampler’ style albums. There may be exceptions for ‘collaboration’ albums which are credited to all participating... ---

Thanks for that link. I’m on the right track now… I updated the folder structure to: So now after re-scanning the library (being able to rescan a single folder would be a nice feature…), I have 2 occurrences of the album (both called “Listen Again”) 1st occurrence is the same as before: the 14 tracks from disc 1 (track/disc # are correct), and 1st track from disc 2 (track/disc # are correct). The album is listed DISC 1 …14 songs… DIS 2 …1 song… 2nd occurrence now has the additional disc 2 tracks (7 total). They also have the correct track/disc #'s. These are not labeled as being “disc 2”, just TRACKS …7 songs … any thoughts on what I have going on here? thanks for the help ---

Please take a look at the following document. I am afraid you have to use the Plex meta data editor to fix these issues now. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/205748387-how-do-i-use-multi-disc-support-for-my-music-libraries/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/205748387-how-do-i-use-multi-disc-support-for-my-music-libraries/) (Alternatively, you could backup and temporarily delete this album from disk, then in Plex, then “Empty Tash”, and finally copy the album back to your music directory and perform a scan of the library) ---

the backup/delete method did it for me, thanks! ---
