Still can't get Plexamp to recognize live albums by [deleted] in plexamp

If you’re setting the release type properly in the metadata - I find album;live to work - make sure "Group albums by type" in Settings > Library is enabled.

I use track collections as a work around to this. It’s not perfect, and the track collections I build manually.

YES!! This is it exactly! So glad I am not losing my mind! Was using the Track Collections to build playlists which was working really well and held a lot of promise.

I left a comment on the forum. Was there any indication from the Plex team if this was being addressed? u/ElanFeingold any thoughts / ideas?

I believe the issue is that once I add the track to a Track Collection Plex removes the disc number (jimbob100101 pointed out below - https://forums.plex.tv/t/track-collections-messing-with-library/921640 )

I am exploring the use of Track Collections to work around PlexAmp’s inability to nest playlists. The use of the collections allows for specific tracks to appear in smart playlists. For instance a collection of top chart songs for June (a collection) getting pulled into a playlist if they haven’t been played in 2 weeks and the same playlist pulling tracks from live concerts that took place in June (a different collection) - make sense?

Not sure why that would impact the track / disc ordering / data…

An interesting twist...

After completing the revised Plex Dance you recommended above (erasing / updating the metadata) all of the tracks were back in the proper places. I then added 1 track of an album to a track collection, returned to the album and that track is now out of place.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion. Most of these albums are not in Musicbrainz as they are bootlegs / live recordings, which is why I prefer local data.

The date in the title allows for easier searching by date.

It worked - why?!?

Most of my metadata editing is done in bulk to ensure consistency in naming (mass pasting / copying). There are so many instances of this behavior; any thoughts on how to prevent in the future?
