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) …

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.

[image] ohrenkino: I do not think that players really rely on folder names Plex is using the additional "(Atmos MKA)" I have at the end of every folder in my Atmos library when I turn off scraping, and only use local assets. I wish it would use the "(Atmos)" I just added to the ALBUM field, b…

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…

I will try it. Nobody ruled anything out. I have been very specific. If I haven't been friendly, I apologize. What players and organizers are you using?

I have used WMP, iTunes, Cody, Windows Media Center, Foobar2000 - and they all showed the data as they should (after a while and/or after triggering the update which could take a lot of time). None of them relies on folders. All of them group data by the named fields. At least that is my experienc…

[image] Tag2022: I didn't know about MEDIATYPE, and I doubt Kodi with the default skin, which I prefer mostly, will do anything with that extra tag? Does Plex? They will not, this field is not commonly used by most players but is good for your library management in general. I would suggest co…
