Music library not able to store "People" info

[RIP314 2]

So I'm using the previous build of emby and in my music library when I try to add to the 'People' section of a song's, album's, or artist's metadata it doesn't save. Is this simply not possible in Music libraries?

BTW... I can do this in my Music Video library and all other libraries for that matter just not the music one specifically.

Hi, neither People nor Studio fields/tags currently work for Music as far as I am aware. Although they do still appear in the Metadata Editor:

Therefore, there are likely only a few workaround ways to get extra People added and displayed for Music:

1. Use the Genres and Tags fields that work (as per above image)
2. Add additional People to the dedicated music fields: Album Artist, Artist, Composer
3. Add the extra People and their contribution into the relevant Overview text

E.g. you could add "person (writer)" to the Composer field and they would show up under the Composer tab. Likewise, a contributing Artist could be added to the Artist field.

Either way, presently, you would possibly need to come up with you own preferred system to show additional people using the available fields.
