But, as soon as I save it my changes aren't there. Buy somehow, Plex scrambled all my Sinatra CD labels such that they now listed Patsy Cline as the artist name.Īnd, sometimes Plex will not save a change to the album title or artist that I make. For instance, I recently added an old Tony Bennett CD I inherited from my mother. It's a tedious task for which I've not been able to find a solution.Īnd, for reasons I've not been able to determine, every once in a while when I add a new album, Plex ends up scrambling a bunch of other album names in the library. Requiring that I reset the Plex library to prefer local data, and then edit and lock the data, particularly album cover art, for about 10% of my library. And every time I do, Plex scrambles the metadata in my library and makes a mess of it. And, despite backups and rescue media, I have had to reset Windows 10 on several occasions and thus, reinstall Plex. However, my home server has been prone to some strange lockups that keep it from loading Windows on occasion. It takes time but, I've got my library of albums arranged the way I want it and locked down. So, I have set Plex to prefer local metadata and found various sources of that data and entered manually. Many of the CDs we have are not particularly mainstream so, there isn't a great amount of metadata out there for them. That's easier than even having to open up PLEX and go into our library.īUT, the metadata tagging for the CDs has been a real challenge. We actually never use them now since we got two ROKU TVs and have pretty much been streaming. So far it's been easy peazy in terms of ripping and storing.Īdding some 40 or 50 DVDs that I have would just be icing on the cake. Plex seemed to offer a better playing and library option than anything else I could find. I really only wanted it to create a music library that was accessible anywhere in my house for my 400+ CD and 200+ vinyl, collections. I went with Plex Pass and have been pretty pleased.
