I was able to setup a folder structure and file naming structure so that as soon as I hit save, the files go straight to my Plex library and are named in a plex-friendly. And after the app matches your songs, you can select the whole album to edit all the songs there at once rather than editing each and every song (at least for album-wide values like Release Date or Album Artist). You can also drag and drop a different album cover image in if you have a preference. And if all else fails, it'll let you quickly look up all releases for a particular song in your browser, and then send a particular release from your browser to the app, and drag whatever songs you want into that release. And in the settings, you can fine tune a bunch of different slider bars for how much preference to give when matching to certain release types (ie favoring regular album over LP's and Singles, while also favoring LP's and Singles over Soundtracks, etc). That helps avoid getting multiple folders for the same artist because of slightly different spellings of their names. With the volume of files you've got, I don't blame you for not bothering with it for tagging all that stuff.īut for what it's worth, you can edit the tags as necessary before saving. MusicBrainz Picard is great, but definitely not perfect.

I've linked the Picard doc page that explains more what this code is actually doing. Then in the box named 'Name files like this', replace the code with the provided code below.

To do this, open Picard's main settings window and select 'File Naming' on the left side. One more thing I forgot to mention, I setup Picard to name my music files just like the above example. MusicĠ1 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V).m4aįor more information, you can refer to the 'Identifying Music Media Using Embedded Sources' page on the plex website.īest of luck to you on your project, I understand it will take some time to fix 45k songs, but trust me when I say it, using Picard is worth it and will save you time in the long run avoiding similar headaches. In the example below, Pink Floyd is the Artist, Wish you Were Here is the Album name, and within it are the albums songs. Root Music Folder>Album Artist>Album Name>Song list Your music folder should have a naming convention like this.

It is one of the best metadata software available in my opinion.Īlso, you will need to follow proper database hierarchy and naming conventions for music to be properly recognized, and that's even if it has good meta.

The software is 100% free and helps you automatically apply metadata to music files including cover art and extended tags. The real solution is to use MusicBrainz Picard. 2) Because of incorrect metadata, Plex never correctly matched a bulk of my music, and even if I supplied cover art, the music would still get incorrectly matched based on its other incorrect meta. The issues I was having was, 1) collaboration disks weren't recognized and they'd be split up by separate artist. I had the same problem at first until I found the solution here a while ago. What do I have to do to get Plex to recognize the albums and display the correct artwork? Even deleting the library, starting from scratch, and telling it to prefer the metadata in the music files themselves. I don't have the time to go through thousands of them and fix the album covers one by one, especially when I've already done that once in MusicBee and embedded the correct album covers in every single song. Either every album by one artist will have the same cover, or for reasons I can't figure out, a lot of random albums (though mostly albums that I only have one song from) all use the same low-resolution cover of the first B-52's album. But for some reason, thousands of albums display in Plex with the wrong album art.

There is not a single MP3 in the collection that doesn't have high-resolution album art embedded in it. I have a collection of about 45,000 songs, and it's all meticulously curated.
