Sorry, that means the checkbox is filled.

As for negative consequences, I’m not aware of any per se. I don’t know if the “Plex Mix” takes the Artist into account or the “Album Artist”. I get a little picky about how my music is organized so I just want the db to be consistent.

I did try the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) with no luck.
