Musiksammlung - Gruppierungen

[Teddyknuddel 132]

Also ich hab mich mal dazu durchgerungen, meine MP3 Sammlung in den Emby Server einzulesen. 

Jetzt muss ich aber feststellen, dass, wenn ich "Alben" aus wähle, jedes Lied in der Übersicht trotzdem einzeln angezeigt wird. 

Habe zwar "Sammlungen gruppieren" aktiviert, aber trotzdem alles einzeln. Stelle ich mich jetzt einfach nur zu blöd an, oder fehlt da irgend ein Plugin?

Hi, Have you checked the Album Artist field/tags with your embedded (or Emby) metadata?

Make sure both the "album" and "album artist" fields are the same for all tracks.

Even f you have the Album field the same for all songs, but nothing in Album Artist field, then the songs will remain ungrouped.

Eigentlich hatte ich meine eigenen Alben zusammen gestellt und entsprechend den TAG eingetragen. Aber scheinbar wird das so nicht übernommen. Nicht mal in Kodi. Ist halt blöd, wenn man verschiedene 300 Songs aus den 80igern zum Beispiel nimmt, und dann werden als Album 300 einzelne Alben mit dem Lied angezeigt.

I would use either "Collections" or "Playlists" for large custom music groupings, rather than "Albums", but it should be possible to do what you want and use "Albums". I just created an "80s Mix" album with "Various Artists" as the album artist and successfully made a custom album.

Do you have a smaller specific example (perhaps with 5 songs) that you can share that shows the problem?

When you say TAG, there are at least 3 possibilities:

• A custom Emby TAG that will show up under the Tags menu tab
• A TAG within Emby in the relevant music fields
• An embedded music TAG that Emby may or may not properly import, depending upon what the field/tag is

You may know all this already, and I am not fully understanding the exact scenario. The auto-language translator may also be making it a bit more difficult to understand? Therefore more specific information and example screenshots could be very helpful.

Whatever method may work for Movies or TV may not work the same for Music, due to the way Emby uses the embedded music metadata.

• Do you first tag outside of Emby (e.g. with Mp3tag or Picard) and then import the info, or are you only changing tags within Emby?
• What do you have for "Album" and "Album Artist"?
• Sometimes "Album Artist" and "AlbumArtist" embedded tags can cause problems if you don't know the difference
• With music "Albums" Emby may not update if you rescan from the wrong place.
• What is your music folder structure? What is it set to in your Emby library?
• Are you getting Emby to fetch data from MusicBrainz or Discogs?

Sorry if this is too many questions. Just trying to help!

Thanks for letting us know. Myself (and others?) may still be able to help later on whenever you are ready and if still needed.
