livetotell 0 Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 I've just managed to solve this. Using Metatogger I changed the Artist, Album Artist and Album Name to something different - got Emby to scan the library, then changed them all back, re-scanned, and voila! the album was no longer split in two!
pwhodges 2012 Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Presumably, then, the previous tags were not the same - did you check what the differences were? Paul
user24 313 Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 On 5/11/2021 at 8:00 AM, pwhodges said: I only discovered yesterday that my carefully tagged album (using Mp3tag) which had an album being split up unexpectedly had a difference which Mp3Tag wasn't showing me: The tracks had both "Album Artist" and "AlbumArtist" tags, and only one (the first) is shown in the normal editing pane - and once I discovered where it shows the other can only be edited track by track... So I had happily made "Album Artist" the same, but Emby was also seeing that "AlbumArtist" was varying. I don't know what field might be causing you trouble, but I do know that changing to using TagScanner made it much easier to see and fix my problem (I know lots of people swear by Picard, but for some reason I find it completely incomprehensible!). If none of this applies to you, sorry - it's the best I can think of. Paul This is a very good tip for anyone using Mp3Tag. I had the exact same hidden "AlbumArtist" issue when I started using Emby a while back. Wish I had seen this post then - it would of saved me a lot of time figuring out the problem on my own! 99% of the duplicate Artist issues (and split Albums) with my library were solved by making the embedded AlbumArtist tag the same as Album Artist. (The other 1% was other obscure hidden tags causing problems.) The only info to possibly add is that under the Mp3tag View Menu there is an Extended Tags section that opens up a window that shows ALL the tags of either an individual track or the whole album, if all tracks are selected. I found I was able to edit all tracks at once to change the AlbumArtist to match Album Artist (or vice versa, if required). 2
mad3all 1 Posted August 8, 2024 Posted August 8, 2024 (edited) Moin, I am new to emby. Today I tried to import my music library and got the same problem. My ffprobe output for two examples shows the same result. The only difference is that the artist is not the same. After seeing that emby set a 'compilation' tag for the one different piece, I specifically set it to '0' for all of them.

But always comes back to embedded tags. Did not test on this album but tested on Schlossgheist as I thought maybe something with the artist's name but had no issues.

mad3all 1 Posted August 17, 2024 Posted August 17, 2024 Hey guys, thanks for your replies. I found the problem with help auf emby's metatag editor. There I detected a wrong musicbrains artist id. A doubled entry but only viewable inside emby's metatag editor. Now the album is fine Thanks! 1
Neminem 1519 Posted August 17, 2024 Posted August 17, 2024 It should also be present in mp3tag Mp3tag - Download Meaning emby uses tags, so you need to use something like mp3tag to edit your tags. 1
