Plexamp: 4.4

I was recently trying to make a Sonic Adventure, but upon adding some tracks I would get “Sonic data is missing.” Which was very curious, as within the last year I had gone through to ensure all that data was there (I was on the wrong scanner). Further digging, I figured out why I was getting that error. I have a separate Lossless library (aspirational, LOL), and it primarily surfaces results from there, even though that is not the Source library selected. In that Lossless library, I do no have Sonic Analysis checked. In the SA search, there is no codec tags shown. In the main search the codec tags are present on albums, but not tracks.

Is there a way to limit or prioritize which libraries are searched? Could SA track searches only show tracks that have the SA data?

It looks like the search in Sonic Adventure respects the “Search all libraries” setting you have; if you have it disabled, it’ll only search the current library.

It can’t do that as part of the search query.

D’oh! I swear I looked for that switch. Thanks for the help.
