Plex Media Server Version 1.21.1.3830 I have a server at 2 locations. I spend a lot of time at a primary location with one server. Trying to enrich my experience I have added my music to my Plex Media Server. I have found that I have to do a lot of matching and pointing of items as Plex doesn’t see…

What I find frustrating is that it wont pick up the properties in the file themselves. Such as …\Music\Pop\LadaGaga\Essentials (2018)\04. Poker Face.mp3 The file properties have all of the information for each song. Now I know that Essentials is not an official released album, but a version of it i…

You can configure your Library to prefer embedded tags and local files (e.g. cover art) if available. ⋮ > Manage Library > Edit... → Advanced > Prefer local metadata I take it your library points at \Music\Pop, not \Music?

Thank you. I will give that a shot. I am pointing at \Music rather than \Music\Pop. I have had categories for my folders such as \Rock or \Country. I did that a few years back. I am wondering though if it makes more sense to just have all artists under \Music? Any thoughts?

Plex will certainly like this better and you’ll have a lower risk of things getting seriously misinterpreted. Same as with tv-shows, Plex expects a certain structure. While movies have some flexibility, that’s less so for tv-shows and music libraries.

If I moved all of the artists from the Genre directories to the \Music folder. Do you think that it would help? Would it be able to auto resolve any created playlists to the new directories?

I’m not 100% sure. From what I remember such changes can result in songs being dropped from playlists.

I appreciate the assistance! One more question for you. I have always used Media Monkey to manage my playlists and other things. Do you know is there anyway to sync or import Playlists from Media Monkey if both systems point at the same directory?

Plex does not populate playlists based on folder structures – so I’d say no… you cannot do that.

I just recently started playing with Plexamp. We are having issues using it offine. We have downloaded a playlist, but you can not seem to navigate the playlist while offline. Perhaps I am overlooking something.
