Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles

No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.


Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant

Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.


Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

For some songs and artists plex doubles the title or name and puts a semi-colon with it. I can not figure out why from the file or naming it is doing this. Does this happen to anyone else?

Thanks

Probably the ID3 data or embedded tags, what software were you using to manage your music before moving them into Plex?

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Currently nothing. Do you have a recommendation on one to do it in mass?

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's mp3tag if you're on Windows, and EasyTag if you're on Linux.

Quite a peculiar issue, i've personally not had this happen with my music library

Yes it is very weird because it does not happen to all even if from same source.
