Plex is not using local metadata for Album Artist and Artist

Server Version#: 1.41.3.9314
Player Version#: 1.105.2.269-12a32491

For my music library, I have the following set:
Scanner: Plex Music
Agent: Plex Music
Prefer local metadata: Checked
Genres: Embedded Tags
Album Art: Local Files Only

For my Plex server, the following settings are set under the Agents (Legacy) section:
Artists:

  1. Local Media Assets (Artists)
  2. Personal Media Artists
    Albums:
  3. Local Media Assets (Albums)
  4. Personal Media Albums

With certain albums, Plex will use a value for Album Artist and Artist that is not embedded in my tags. For example I will use the Album Eve by The Alan Parsons Project.The first track in this album has these tags:

In plex, the album has the Artist listed as “Eric Woolfson & Alan Parsons” and the track has a blank value for Artist.

Can someone please help me understand where these tags are coming from in Plex?

If the album artist and the track artist are identical, then clients do usually omit them track artist from showing on album pages.

When was this checked? After the album has been scanned into Plex or before?

Make sure you have a folder structure as shown in this article: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265296-adding-music-media-from-folders/

Are there other albums by that particular artist?
If this is the only album, perform the Plex Dance “light” with this album.
(“light” meaning you can omit step 4)

  1. Good to know, thanks!
  2. After. Though I did perform the light plex dance on this album and it did not fix the issue. I also performed a light plex dance on the entire artist, this did not work either. My folder structure is Music/AlbumArtistName/YYYY - AlbumName/TrackNumber - TrackName.ext. I know this isn’t exactly what is specified, but I think it’s close enough, right?
  3. All of the albums I have from The Alan Parsons Project have this issue.

I just created a new library, using the same settings, that just contains the folder “Music/The Alan Parson Project/”. All the albums in this library have the correct album artist value of “The Alan Parsons Project”

Then perform the Plex Dance with all of them at the same time. Ensure that not a single track among them has the wrong album artist info tagged.

Perfectly fine. But ensure that all of the albums inside of a certain AlbumArtist folder have identical content in their AlbumArtist tags.

This did not work, when performed exactly as prescribed. More on that later.

I did confirm that they all have the same value in the tags.

I found the solution, the light plex dance, but with a caveat.

I also have the album “Freudiana” by “Eric Woolfson & Alan Parsons”. When I removed the directories “Music/The Alan Parsons Project/” and “Music/Eric Woolfson & Alan Parsons/” for the light plex dance, the tags were fixed when the directories were added back.

Unfortunately, this method removed my ratings for the tracks on “Eve”. I will manually rerate those tracks.

Thank you for your help!
