s3thg3ck9 0 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I have troubles getting my music collection set up properly and can find info about the following: When the Web client is sorted by albums it sometimes shows album title and interpet (what would be correct) and some times only the album title for albums that are properly linked to musicbrainz. On "While a Nation Sleeps" the interpret is properly shown above the album title. On the Rookie EP it's not shown. Both are properly linked to musicbrainz and "show artist" does display both of them correctly. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 what do the tags within the audio files look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3thg3ck9 0 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 what do the tags within the audio files look like? Boysetsfire is set as Interpret AND Album-Interpret For the other two only the Interpret Tag is set. Guess that makes the differences, although that's prett odd...

Happy2Play 8296 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 If there is no Album Artist tag you will only see the Album name, not artist and album as your screen shot shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, thought so. As this can not be set via Emby's Meta Data Manager what would be best practice to get this on track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks, thought so. As this can not be set via Emby's Meta Data Manager what would be best practice to get this on track? I use MP3Tag to ensure all my desired tags are filled in for my music files. Emby picks up the data I enter without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raff 51 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I will echo Deathsquirrel on the MP3Tag suggestion. It is my favorite tool for making bulk edits to music file tags. Specifically, I do bulk edits on the Genre tag quickly and painlessly with that tool all the time. However, if you need to do more than just set a bunch of singular tags (like album artist in a specific directory) you may want to try Musicbrainz Picard. It will help you identify the tracks and fill in many of the missing or wrong data elements. I also have MediaMonkey installed, because it does a better job of getting album covers.
