Hi, I'm on server latest version, my music library scructure is:

 

Music\

     Album Artist\

          Year - Album Name\

                01 - Song Name.mp3

 

 

I have some wrong entries on my Artists tab, alI my music is correctly tagged, I don't have any multiple artists albums (excluding compilations and soundtracks).

 

I don't know why these 'LBUM ART' and 'LBUMARTIST'

Nope, but recommend you load your library in MP3Tag and make sure those values don't appear in your tags somewhere.  That's the most likely cause.

They are correctly tagged.

I notice Emby are populating the tab with  some artists that are not mentioned in the tags, I have one M83 album wich have one remixed song, Emby created an entry Artist (Maps) just because this song...

So have those folders in my library to "LBUM Art" etc...

 

I thought they might be for artists whom accompany albums which are in my library but who's albums I don't actually have.

 

Gust appearances etc...

 

Not sure.

Managed to get rid of of those "artists"

But did anoter re-scan and 5 more appeared... from albums wich I didn't touch.

 

Is there anyway to prevent emby from add artists that are not on the tags?

I alway uesd MediaMonkey for tagging all my files, it turns out now that I relied too much on it...

I just decided to check with Mp3Tag too and see what I found:

I don't know why on earth this could happen, could Emby modify the tags? I ask this because couple hours before there was no Unknow artist on Emby, and that album was added to library months ago....

My major problem is gone now, Thanks!!

 

 

One last question: 

Why emby keeps adding this artist even if I delete it's folder on 'AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\metadata\artists\'

because everything under that folder is based on music tags. if you want to delete an artist then remove it from the audio files.
