Started using Emby for music and so far so good except that many of my albums aren't tagged properly. Attaching screenshots from Emby and Mediamonkey. Track numbers are in title names instead of being tracks. Refreshing metadata doesn't do anything. And the links to MusicBrainz are correct.

We don't parse track numbers from file names. Do your music files have the track number embedded in their metadata?

Yes, as shown in the screenshot from Mediamonkey.

It may still not be tagged correctly. Can you provide a sample file? Thanks.

@@negativzeroe, thanks for the sample.

 

According to ffprobe, which is the tool that we use, there's no embedded track title in the file metadata, and so that's why you're seeing the filename as the display title.

 

If you're using mediamonkey consider using mp3tag instead. there's mulitple variations of id3 tags and it's possible mediamonkey is not saving them all. more likely it's only saving the one that it's reading.

Mediamonkey should be able to handle the tags correctly, but depending on how the file was created the metadata may need to be cleaned and synchronized with the Mediamonkey database. It is possible that the data on the screen in Mediamonkey is be correct, but the ID3v1 or ID3v2 metadata in the file do not match (or are empty). This can easily fixed by using the "Clean Tags" function in Mediamonkey as outlined here:
