I would like Plex to read my music track ratings embedded in a metadata tag upon import and write the corresponding track rating to Plex’s music database. Would this be a custom scanner or Metadata Agent?
scanner show the file but can read mp3 header for singer/group album, track number
metadata agent will read mp3 header and other metadata sources to fill meta information
@ZeroQI said:

From this I gather that the scanner can be programmed to read my custom tags (e.g., rating) and write that to Plex, and a metadata agent would be more appropriate if I were pulling in other metadata from outside sources (e.g., artist bios, pictures, etc.).
Correct?
The scanner add files to plex so they shows and support very limited fields, not the ratings
The agent search a unique id for the album and fixes the metadata like ratings, cover, etc…
available fields are A (Album), G(Group), T (Track)
