chooKcha 2 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I'm having a problem where emby has create two artists out of one: Most of the albums are under "<Artist>", but two of the albums are under "The <Artist>" My folder structure is <Arist> -> <Album (Date)> All of the albums for this artist are in the same folder. Why is Emby creating two artists out of one and what are my options to resolve the issue so that Emby shows a single artist? Thanks!
chooKcha 2 Posted June 10 Author Posted June 10 Sure: My music folder has a directory for: Red Hot Chili Peppers Emby shows two artists: Red Hot Chili Peppers The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Luke 40018 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 HI there, have you taken a look at how your audio files are tagged? They are probably tagged in this manner (inconsistently).
Lessaj 296 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 You'll have to check how some of the media was tagged. I noticed for my RHCP collection that a couple albums had The in the name and I manually changed it. 1

Hi there, Emby will create Artists from the embedded metadata in your individual music (song) files. You can find out more basic information here: https://emby.media/support/articles/Music-Naming.html I'd recommend using Mp3tag (or similar) to check both Artist and Album Artist fields/tags, at a minimum. If you change the info just within Emby and then rescan you music library later on, then Emby may revert to the original embedded metadata in your files and import this back into your Emby database. Beyond just the Artist and Album Artist tags, you may want to research MusicBrainz IDs and how these are used by Emby... 2
