![]() ![]() In Picard's Preferences, click the File Naming tab on the leftĬheck the box for "Move Files when Saving" and put in the path for your root music folder for plex The following is on a Mac, but I suspect it should be the same or similar on Windows. ![]() Lastly, many releases might not be on MusicBrainz already and I would encourage you to contribute and add those releases yourself.įirst off, you should make sure that in your Plex settings, you've turned on Local Media Assets and moved that to the top of the sources list, otherwise it'll favor whatever it finds online.Īs for filenaming and organizing, that's the main reason I put everything through Picard. You can set your Plex Library to only show the Albums anyway. I have most of my Albums set that way and it doesn't really bother me. ![]() Keep in mind that MusicBrainz Album Artist can be Various artists a lot. When everything is correctly assigned you can use CTRL S or right-click -> save and the files are being moved to the new location according to the naming and organization convention you have set. You can also switch releases, for example, when a release has different versions with more tracks then you can right-click on that album and say "other versions". then you can drag all the files into the album title and Picard will organize them into different tracks.Ĭheck the Colours of those assigned tracks, green is good but yellow and red mean that there are too many differences between the assigned track and the metadata. You should definitely check if everything is correctly assigned because sometimes it can happen that Picard puts an album track into different albumsĪs an alternative, you can always use the website to find your exact release and then copy the MusicBrainz ID of that release into the search bar of Picard, this will add that exact release on the right side. If something is matched, it is moved to the right side of the screen You pick a track or album and drag it into Picard, this will already search for the tracks in question (grey is "still looking for a match" and white text is "I couldn't match it") For plex, it might make sense to save the poster in the Album in cover art -> Save cover images as a separate file and then set the file name to "poster".Īs for using MusicBrainz Picard, it is fairly simple. You should also look into the other settings and enable what you think is worth it. I would recommend setting it to something outside of your library so that you can find files that are "leftover". You would also need to enable "Move files when saving" and set your destination directory. Example: "Music\The Beatles\Help!\The Beatles - Ticket to Ride.mp3" I created a new one and named it "Plex" and it just has %albumartist%/%album%/%artist% - %title% in it. First, you should set your naming correctly: Options -> File Naming -> Edit file naming script ![]()
