All my 7k songs have Titles associated to them via ID3 tags, these tags appear fine when loading them directly in VLC and they also populate correctly in apps like iTunes. However the same files loaded into Plex show no titles and a lot don’t show the embedded album art file either.
Is there a particular format that Plex needs in order to surface these through its apps?
(I don’t think this is specific to Plexamp directly but this is where I can see the issue)
Plex requires a very strict organization of your music into folders and subfolders.
see https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265296-adding-music-media-from-folders/
as well as Various Artists, difference between .mp3 and .flac?
and Music Scanner scrambles and omits tracks on Multi-CD sets
So even with complete ID3 tag information the track information will not be picked up if we don’t use the Folder structure? It doesn’t really make sense, surely the ID3 information would suffice for track information? (I have also set the metadata to prefer local data instead of Plex data)
