Is it possible to add "(5.1)" or "(CD)" to the end of multiple Album Title tags? I need to do this to hundreds of album titles. The albums are named correctly. Example... "Abbey Road" is how it is named with multiple entries. Changes would be: Abbey Road (CD) Abbey Road (5.1) Abbey Road (Atmos) …

Thanks! That was much easier than I anticipated. I might need to change the folder name too but hopefully not. I hope that will be just as easy? Thanks again!

Instead of adding this kind of data to the ALBUM field, I would like to draw your attention to a more dedicated field MEDIATYPE - I would set the data there and then - if needed - add that to other strings but retrieve it in general from a field as part of a data structure and not as one ofmany word…

Thanks. My plan didn't work so I do need to try something else. Actually, it does work sometimes, but usually it doesn't. Multiple albums with the same album title, different mixes, formats, mastering's, ect. Mostly I want to identify Atmos, 5.1, quadraphonic, MQA, and CD. Plex is my music organiz…

I do not think that players really rely on folder names to find the album name. But to get a grouping into the data, usually, the following fields should be filles: ALBUMARIST, ARTIST; ALBUM, TITLE, TRACK, (YEAR).. This should enable the players to distinguish between different albums.

You have not told/checked whether the fields [image] ohrenkino: ALBUMARIST, ARTIST; ALBUM, TITLE, TRACK, (YEAR).. are filled. And then it would also be a nice idea to rename the files slightly (perhaps with an added underscore) and see whether you player really re-reads the tags. As it is a…

The YEAR tag may become an issue solving this, because I have to this point only wanted to use the original release year. I leave ALBUMARTIST blank. ARTIST; ALBUM, TITLE, TRACK are all perfect. ALBUM tag I added "(Atmos)" which Plex is ignoring.

[image] Tag2022: I leave ALBUMARTIST blank So all albums come now from "the artist that isn't known". Honestly: you will not become very happy with your players if you leave ALBUMARTIST empty.

Plex uses the ARTIST tag when ALBUMARTIST is blank, as does every other player I have used over the decades. ALBUMARTIST is used to narrow down browsing like when you want ARTIST Paul McCartney in with the ALBUMARTIST The Beatles.

OK, I just tried to give some friendly advice. It is your problem that the albums are not updated as you expected. If you rule out the option to try to fill the ALBUMARTIST at least for a test album and see whether it works, that's ok with me. But then I think the options with MP3tag grind to a h…
