Music album issue

[Swaf 1]

Hi, I got multiple album that fuse together without reason 

 

it start with "Kyo-L'équilibre" who fuse with "Israel Kamakawiwo'ole-E Ala E" 

and i recently added somes new artist and same issue with "John Lennon-unfinished album life with a lion" and 'burna boy album don't remember which one"

 

Someone know how to correct this issue ?

Hi, perhaps check out the official Emby Music Naming requirements if you haven't already:

https://emby.media/support/articles/Music-Naming.html

• Problems with Albums joining together incorrectly are usually due to incorrect or missing embedded metadata in your audio files themselves.
• Check your tags for the relevant fields (e.g.) Album and Album Artist, ideally with a tagging application (e.g.) Mp3tag.
• If you have missing embedded metadata and the audio track files are grouped in the same parent folder that may also cause issues?
• Do you use MusicBrainz IDs? This could cause incorrect grouping if the tags are inconsistent or incorrect?

My guess is you don't have Album Artist field filled in and it is blank???? But it could be something else? Cheers!

Hi, what makes you think they fuse together?

[Swaf 1]

don't know both artist are in separate folder and unique folder for album

as i said got not only "kyo" and "israel" it seems every time one album bug is fuse with this one

cauz now i got 4 artist in the same album, even if those artists probably never met

Can you please show screenshot examples of what you are seeing in emby server so that we can visualize this? Thanks.

Hi, the OP did have one relevant screenshot, but I don't think it uploaded correctly, because it doesn't appear in the detailed post, but it does appear in the indexed forum list. Here it is for reference:

It does look like that individual Albums are fused together. From the screenshot, the title is one Album, the image is another Album (John Lennon), the Album Artists are several and the Songs/Artists seem to be merged into the one Album. (67 tracks in total - when the Album should only have 22 Tracks. https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/ca43e39c-ccf0-4b88-a409-7e2c8c1528da

I guess it should actually look something like this for the Kyo Album:

From your Windows/Properties/Details  screenshots, it appears that the two example tracks/files have correct embedded metadata for Album Artist / Album / Artist - but I'd recommend to use a dedicated tagging app (Mp3tag or Picard) to see ALL tags for the tracks (e.g. extended tags in Mp3tag). Don't just rely on Windows.

Then, also check what Emby is showing for both the individual Albums and the individual Songs in the metadata editor. 

Not just the Album screen shot - go into the metadata editor (from the 3 dots) and you will see something like this for the albums:

Scroll down and check MusicBrainz and Discogs IDs.

The tracks metadata should show something like this:

Again, scroll down and check everything.

If you see obvious errors, it may be possible to correct them - I would make the corrections in the embedded metadata and then rescan into Emby. Don't just change within Emby or a future rescan may re-import incorrect embedded metadata.

Also, if you can't see anything obvious - then perhaps try removing all the albums from Emby, rescan your library. Then check the embedded metadata in the albums and add them back into Emby one-by-one. If the errrors return, then you may be able to find the root cause???
