Questions about Plex Music - Do these features exist?

Hey everyone. I’ve been a Plex user for years, but just recently moved my large music collection into it too. As I’ve migrated my music from iTunes, I’ve noticed a few things. I’m wondering if anyone had workarounds or if these things existed already.

  • Is there an attribute to include a various artists album with song artists. For example if I look at the page for Artist A, I do not see the songs they have on soundtrack/compilations. In some cases, however, I would not want them to appear. If Artist B is on a lot of mixed DJ albums, I don’t necessarily want those tracks included on the artist page since they may be more of a snippet and not the whole track. I wish there was a checkbox on the album to include/exclude tracks from the artist page.

  • Is there a way to paste a Last.FM URL for direct link when matching the artist when API won’t match. This happened with artists that had special characters in the name, for example NER*D I had to use N E R D to get it to match and other artists like HA:TFELT were more difficult. I know with TVDB, you can add the ID as a search query.

  • Is there any way to edit smart playlists criteria?

  • Is there an easy way to see if something is matched or not without clicking a drop-down?

  • Is there a way to create folders for playlists? I create a monthly mix and have about 10 years of these in the Playlists section. I would to group them into folders (like collections for movies).

  • Is there a way to see which playlists a track is included in? In iTunes I could right click and see. Sometimes I’m replacing an older version of an album and I want to see what playlists the tracks are in so I can add them back. A message that the track is included in xxx playlist before deletion would also be nice…

  • Are there ways to customize what columns/attributes in playlist view (stars, plays, etc.)?

  • It is nice to have concert data is, but can it be localized to my zip code? It doesn’t help to see the artist is live in another country.

  • Is there any way to download all tracks in a playlist? There should be more options when selecting all in a playlist. Add to a playlist, download, etc.

Thanks for any help or workarounds you have discovered.

“No” to all of the above.

That is what I thought. Thanks!
