Relocate0604 3 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Adding music to Emby, it is particularly difficult to organise Albums/Artist. It would be incredibly helpful if multi-select Albums/Artists adds the ability to bulk edit metadata like tags, artist name, album name and cover art.
user24 233 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Hi, yes, I agree with you that some built-in bulk editing features would be great for music for Emby, especially for those fields that are not imported directly from embedded metadata. HOWEVER, I'd recommend using a third-party tagging program (e.g. Picard or Mp3tag or similar) for updating all imported metadata tags such as Albums and Artists and Album Artists. Do you use anything like this? IMPORTANT, also note, if you make changes to your music info within Emby only and then later on rescan your music library, then Emby will likely just re-import your embedded metadata that you haven't updated, and revert back to what you had before, so you may have wasted a lot of time. (AFAIK, making changes within Emby only, updates your Emby database only and does not change the original embedded metadata within your music files.) I'd recommend Mp3tag if you haven't tried it already. The basics are quick to learn and you can easily bulk edit your metadata, including cover art. It's also possible to script sophisticated Auto Actions that, once set up, can save a massive amount of time for making bulk changes to a whole library. Using a dedicated music tagging program will also allow other systems, besides Emby, to make use of your updated changes. 1 1
