<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">So I discovered something that makes a big difference. I had already set Plex to use my Personal Media Artists as DJ suggested, and still experienced huge amounts of errors. The I discovered that you can select an artist, cvli on the menu button to the laft of the interface (the three dots ... ) and click on "Fix incorrect match: at which point it asks whether you want to use local or <a href="http://last.fm">last.fm</a>. This has made a HUGE improvement to the usability of Plex for me.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">There are still thousands of files getting slapped under "unknown artist" or "unknown album" for a reason I still need to figure. But right now Plex is a lot more useful to me than it was. I'm amazed that this issue is raised so many times on the Plex forum, but nobody seems to mention this gem.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I'll report back once I have figured out the unknown artist issue.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">ed</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Dec 5, 2015 at 9:51 AM, Edward Holcroft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eholcroft@mkainc.com" target="_blank">eholcroft@mkainc.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I will take this as my annual attempt to see if I can get Plex tags figured out.

</span>Just switched over to<br>
Plex Music Scanner<br>
Personal Media Artists<br>
Use embedded tags<br>
<br>
That seems to work here. Maybe I don't understand?<br>
What's missing? Plex doesn't show all the info, but it seems to still be inside<br>
the files.<br>
