The new premium music is a step in the right direction but unfortunately just a step. One of the problems is that the genre is only stored at the album level even though the individual tracks all had genre fields. When I import an album where the tracks contain different genres only one of them …

…How is supporting track genre still not a thing? Man, I’ve been finding more reasons to not use Plex Music than use it recently…

I’m astonished that such a basic feature is not part of Plex. I’ve no idea what ‘Album Genre’ is but when I do a filter on that for example, it only shows 3 of my hundreds of Hip-Hop albums which are meticulously tagged. Please add this.

In Plex or Plexamp? Plex music library view → Tracks, then Advanced Filters → Album Genre is “Reggae”, then top right “shuffle” button. Plexamp has Library → Album Genre → Reggae → Shuffle (adding my vote for track-specific Year and Genres, it’s super annoying that having one “Reggae” song automa…

Recently decided to switch from iTunes to Plex. Not as easy as I thought. About one thing I wasn’t aware of: Tracks don’t have genres in Plex…seriously? Plex is so good for many media and reasons, but this is just bad…very bad. I used to have multiple smart playlists in iTunes, which work with star …

Come on, Plex! It’s been nearly eight years and it is obviously the right answer. Music in Plex still feels like a checkmark on a feature list rather than a fully useful thing. I’d love to finally be able to use plex for music but doing a simple thing like filtering holiday music out of a smart play…

Since we’re only able to vote for five feature suggestions, I have been putting off voting for this suggestion. To be honest, I just assumed that Plex would come to the realization that album and artist level genres simply don’t work for smart playlists or filtering. Suggesting we use “moods” or “s…

The latest Plex Pass Beta update for the server now can store track genres! and has some more filtering options. I’ve just barely installed it, so I can’t make any comments at all about the capabilities, but I would think a huge step forward.
