> some of my mp3’s had wrong metadata (which I believe was fetched from the internet) and nothing I could do would get Plex to reread the Idv1/2 tags after the songs were added. Even after checking prefer local metadata and rescanning the metadata I could not get Plex to register the correct tags for some compilations

The solution for such a situation is called the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).  
In the case of music, you can omit step 4.

Other tips:  
With multi-disc albums, store the disc number as a single number in its dedicated meta tag. Do **not** add the disc number to the “album title” tag.  
Do also look out for empty “track number” meta tags. These can cause weird behaviour.
