Hi,
I just started (as a test) to use Plex as an Upnp server for music have have noticed something very upsetting.
I have an CD by Frida (Anni-Frid from Abba) called “Djupa andetag”, it is by Frida, but in Plex it shows up as being by “Anni-Frid Lyngstad”.
I probably have more like that, and also it flags some CDs as being compilations though they are not.
Is there a way to change this behavior?

Plex gets this data from [musicbrainz.org](http://musicbrainz.org). On their repository, “Frida” is listed as an alias of “Anni-Frid Lyngstad”
[Frida - Aliases - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/042c35d3-0756-4804-b2c2-be57a683efa2/aliases)
The release/album you’ve mentioned has listed “Frida” as its artist – though Plex will be using the artist’s main name.
> **[Release “Djupa andetag” by Frida - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/release/ba2af18a-9739-4a62-9e27-2134e07c570f)**

> Format: CD, Year: 1996, Label: Anderson Records (AND 1), Barcode: 7330344100016, Length: 45:04

As for the release/album types… same here: Plex follows the categorization of primary/secondary release type of MB. You can try to convince the community at MB that their categorization is wrong or disable the album type categorization inside Plex (`Settings` \> `[Server Name]` \> `Library` \> `Group albums by type` → `Disabled`)

Thank you for the explanation.
I can see that Plex will not be my upnp server, if it can’t keep to the IDv2/3 tags then it’s not really much use for people who collect music (or takes tagging seriously).
I’ll just continue to use minimserver, not a big issue, I had just hoped that I could cut down on the number of moving parts.

If your embedded tags are in good shape, you can [configure Plex to prefer them](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-configure-plex-to-use-embedded-metadata-music/153689). I don’t think this will affect the album type issue, since I don’t think there’s an ID3 tag for that.

Thanks that was what I was looking for - just could not find it.
Cheers.
