Emby server converting track artist from [anonymous] to Anonymous 4

[tcr000 0]

I have a number of CDs in my music library where the artist is [anonymous]. When Emby displays these tracks the name is changed to Anonymous 4 which is a real group (I do have an Anonymous 4 CD in my library). I tried manually changing them back using Edit Metadata, but they just go back to Anonymous 4. How do I fix this? 

 

Thanks,

Hi there, what type of music files?

I also have another CD which is by Maurice Debussy and Emby insists it is by Maurice Ravel despite there being no mention of Ravel in any tag in the Windows folder of the CD. You can edit metadata and change the title of an album but it does not seem you can change the artist. I would think I should be able to do this and possibly lock my change.

Hi there @@tcr000, are the tracks tagged with artist musicbrainz id's, or just artist names?

They are tagged only with artist name.

I continue to have the problem of having an album on my hard drive with artist name and having Emby substitute the wrong artist. For example I have an album in my Windows PC:

 

\media\music\Frederica Von\Stade\Recital

 

Emby has the tilte correct but the artist comes up as Mozart which is indeed the artist on one of the tracks. How can I get Emby server to go by whatever is in my hard drive folder structure, and not perform a lookup. Why can't I edit the artist metadata?

@@tcr000 are the artists for each track listed correctly, but just the album that is not correct?
