I am perpetually trying to get a large classical music collection (digitized from from vinyl) on Plex so it can be played through a sound system – as any normal cd or lp collection might have been in the old days. Sometimes this works and sometimes chaos reigns. Here is how I organized my files and folders:
I use the following file structure for everything classical:
bruckner.anton (top folder under music)
(one folder down) Bruckner - Symphony 6, A (1881); Bernard Haitink, Concertgebow Orchestra of Amsterdam
(one folder below that) BrucknerSymphony6.1.wav (wave file)
BrucknerSymphony6.2.wav (wave file)
etc etc
(one folder down) Bruckner - Symphony 6, A (1881); Henry Swoboda, Vienna Symphony Orchestra
(one folder below that) BrucknerSymphony6.1.wav (wave file)
BrucknerSymphony6.2.wav (wave file)
etc etc
In many cases the wave files (movements) under the first folder down appear in Plex in one sequence (one screen) and play automatically in sequence (as they would on an lp or cd), but not always. In the case of the Bruckner, for example, the wave files (movements) get split up by Plex into individual entries, so to play the entire 6th Symphony you have to manually play 4 different Plex screens one after the other. What is up with that and what is the solution?
I have searched through the Plex help site and not seen much discussion of this sort of thing, though there are rumblings of dissatisfaction. Is anyone at your company going to take an interest in this kind of problem and offer support?
Thanks again for a great product, but I want it to be better!
