Richard Branches 231 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Currently music files must be organized into Music/Artist/Album/filename structure for the server to organize the music catalog correctly, however, the one single folder (Music/filename) structure is not supported and I hope Emby developers take it into account, I stopped using Emby for my music because I don't really like it, it's a little bothersome to maintain, at least for me. I know there are windows applications to help admin that folder structure but that's not the point. I count on your upvote for Emby developers to take this suggestion into account. Thanks.

Richard Branches 231 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 I wonder if this is dead or development is halted? I really want to see this to become a reality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It is planned but what truly takes development priority here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Branches 231 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 This is something that should've existed from the very start, I ignore the reasons though, I just dream of 2020 as the year where this is finally fixed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8242 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Nothing like a pipe dream of everything existing from the start. If that were true there would be no room for improvement as it would already be there from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikSlayer 197 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Wait, why is this a feature that needs to be 'implemented'? Wouldn't the ID3 tags help to organize the songs by artist/album/genre/etc? Why should the folder structure even matter? Why should Richard have to organize his music files for Emby to work effectively with them... RIGHT NOW? Shouldn't it already work? I just don't understand.

It really affects how music is displayed, because if you go inside an artist, you can't see its albums nor its songs.

smithd77 1 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Can I sponsor this feature, or co-sponsor it? I've just d/led my music from google play and am not going to organize it into folders (The d/l is just 1 massive folder). What can I do to help with this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjaninja 533 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 as a workaround in the meantime are you aware that for Windows at least mp3tag can automate moving content into \artist\album\tracks structure. you can define the path and the filename. if the tags are good mp3tag can structure acordingly on the file system.my rename action includesformat value for directoryformat value for filenamefor _directory$if(%rootfolder%,A:\Music%rootfolder%'['$regexp(%year%,.*(\d{4}).*,$1)'] '%album%,A:\Music\%albumartist%\'['$regexp(%year%,.*(\d{4}).*,$1)'] '%album%)(i use a root folder tag to make exceptions for some content..and prefix the year by looking for four digits in year tag)A:\Music\%albumartist%\'['$regexp(%year%,.*(\d{4}).*,$1)'] '%album%would suffice) for _filename$if(%discnumber%,D%discnumber%_,)$num(%track%,2). $replace(%title%,\,)"name files based on track number and title and prefix disk number_ if present"with a fully featured scripting language theres not much mp3tag cant do when it comes to structuring music..Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
