So far I am not impressed with plex.
[And now I’m trying to post this to the plex pass member area since I pay for that and it is grayed out.]
I want to use it to play my music everywhere. I got plex pass to do so with my Dropbox.
But Plex doesn’t display entire file names and it wants to force me to use artist/albums, instead of folders.
i.e.
File name on my Dropbox:
01 - Unknown Artist - Track 1.wav
The same file on plex shows only as:
Track 1
ALL my music is wavs, direct cds rips. No metadata.
But plex wants metadata, I’m not going to covert everything to FLAC and hand type all the metadata to 100s of obscure classical CDs.
Why can’t plex just show the full file name?
This also means that if you have a cd with the first track named Symphony no 2, then the next tracks are not named until track six with Symphony no 3, etc…Plex will skip directly from track one Symphony no 2 to track six Symphony no 3. The it will play all the unnamed tracks after. Even though the file names themselves have the track number typed into it, Plex ignores it altogether.
i.e.
01 - Unknown Artist - Symphony No 2
02 - Unknown Artist - Track 2
03 - Unknown Artist - Track 3
etc…
06 - Unknown Artist - Symphony No 3
Given the above file system, Plex will go directly from track 1 then skip to track 6.
Really very irritating.
