+1 for me as well. This would be so useful for RiffTrax and commentaries
That’s the biggest reason I want it.
I have a movie with an English and Spanish track. Both listed as unknown. Would really like to rename each one to their respective language to save confusion

That’s a different issue. What you are asking for can already be done. You have to set the language within the file…
Example…
What this topic is talking about is have a way to tell what track is what(a description) when two or more tracks with the same language are found. An example of this is some people have two English audio tracks. One for the movie, and one for commentary, or a laugh track.
A better example of this, is a movie with four English subtitle tracks.
1st Track: FORCED, Non-English Dialogue
2nd Track: Regular subtitles
3rd Track: SDH subtitles
4th Track: Director's Commentary
I used English for the example but it affects all languages, not just English.

I would also like to see this feature implemented 
+1 My biggest Plex request. Would be particularly useful for things like trivia tracks and forced subtitle rips, that aren’t immediately obvious when they’re selected.

I’ve started encoding the audio for my films in both 5.1 Surround and Dolby Pro Logic to support viewing on both my main TV with surround and on other TVs without surround.
It would be really useful to be able to label those audio streams as such rather than having to remember which order I set them in when I encoded the video.
This would also be really useful for commentary tracks and mentioned previous.
Thanks
I would also like this for the video track aswell. I have many Doctor Who episodes that have two video streams.
1st track is the Official Animation Reconstruction and 2nd track is the Official Telesnaps Reconstruction
+1
Having to try 3-4 different “English” Audio tracks to find the commentary I am looking for, instead of simply displaying the title of the audio track that is already present in the XML is rather frustrating.
Another +1
Can’t believe this is taking so long to implement especially as the titles are already available in the metadata
Broke this down with an example and visuals before realizing this article existed. Please make this a higher priority.

Nice break down.
This is so needed and surely easy to do as the data exists, why’s it taking so long to implement?
Would love this feature, but honestly - it looks like we’re beating a dead horse - I’ve seen requests for this going back to 2015 (and there are probably older ones). After at least three years of requests you have to believe that the powers that be aren’t interested.
Bumping this. Genuinely shocked that this still isn’t in. The data is there, Plex even already KNOWS how to read it since the track names show up in Get Info. Just a little bit of UI tweaking would go a long way.
I’m adding my vote here as well; the information is already stored in the track. It shouldn’t be that hard to pull it and display it…
I am very meticulous about properly tagging and labeling all of the tracks inside my media. I have a lot of foreign material, and often there are multiple tracks; both audio and subtitle (and in a few cases, even more than one video track; Invader Zim came with animatic/storyboard tracks). Even with single language movies/shows, it is very common to have two or more subtitle tracks (standard subs and closed captioning) of the same language. And with audio, I always preserve the commentary track(s), and being able to choose it without having to fish would be nice.
I believe others have already sent in examples, but I’d be glad to provide example tracks with all kinds of different scenarios.
Naming different audio tracks would be very nice. Preferably by renaming the tracks in the source file with an editor like mp4 tools or something similar.
Adding another request for this. I’ve been wanting something like this for years but thought it was a limitation of container formats. After learning/noticing that there was in fact a field for the title of an audio track now I want Plex to display them! I like to rip all the commentary and other tracks for my movies, but as it is if I want to listen to one I have to just try them all until I find the one I’m looking for. That’s stupid.
it’s 2018 now lol.
Why is this still not done? The request was written 4 years ago and the original requester was or is now a Plex employee.

It makes not difference.
