Unknown Artist & Album after ripping one CD

Server Version#: 4.146.0 on Ubuntu Server

I installed Plex Server on an Ubuntu Laptop a couple of months ago - gradually ripping my CD collection. I’ve got about 600 CDs ripped into FLAC format and its working pretty well.

Until yesterday: I ripped a Dave Matthews Band CD. All seemed to go OK, but then this morning, the album showed up as Unknown Artist and Unknown Album.

So, I rescanned the library. Now there’s almost half of the ripped albums are Unknown A & A.

What can I do?

Are you observing the strict Album Artist > Album > Tracks hierarchy when storing the files? https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265296-adding-music-media-from-folders/

Are you embedding metadata into your files?

Is the checkbox “prefer local metatags” in the properties of your music library checked or not? (don’t change it, yet!)

Which metadata agent has been selected in the properties of the music library?
