Plex Music Naming

General Discussions
1

I have a curious question about using the music method on Plex.

Currently, I have

  • Music/ArtistName/AlbumName (Year) /TrackNumber - TrackName.ext

Is this okay to use? or should I stick to Plex method

  • Music/ArtistName/AlbumName/TrackNumber - TrackName.ext

Generally speaking… the closer you can stick to the naming schema proposed by Plex, the better your overall experience should be. The addition of a year to the album folder name might be a small enough deviation not to have a significant impact – so if it’s working for you, go ahead.

If albums are not getting matched you can still perform a manual fix-match from within Plex or drop the year before doing another attempt of cataloging that album.

I have the former structure (with year) and it’s worked fine since the beginning. Way back in the beginning, they didn’t have a specific structure for music. Somewhere it was posted to have the former to match movies, then it changed.
