MM5 moving tagged to "unknown"

Post by CartersNest »

MM5 is moving 2 full albums to the correct artist but the same unknown album. All tags are correct and previously managed by iTunes. This seems so far just for Patty Griffin albums "A Kiss in Time" and "Downtown Church". I am really looking for a fix but in the meantime is there an exclude folder option?

Can you define "moving"? Are the being moved on your PC itself? Which build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 5 and what Auto-Organize rule are you using? Do the corresponding tags show a value in MediaMonkey itself?

Thanks for the reply. I had tagged Artist but it seems MM needed contributing artist to solve the problem

It depends on the Auto-Organize Mask you're using: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... ormats/5.0

It makes sense to use <Album Artist> as Album Artist is used to define what files belong on an Album. Thus Album Artist should be the same for all files on the Album: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... erties/5.0
