How does a music album decide the name? - jellykrabbypatty - 2025-11-14
Is there a metadata tag that JF chooses when deciding a name for an album? I want my albums to stay with the manual name I give them but they keep renaming back to the default. I know the songs have an "album name" section, does it just pull the album name from the first track? I have all the music plug-ins turned off.
The reason I want to know is, it occurs to me that the music albums get renamed if you move them to a new directory or sub-directory, regardless of .NFO or lock status.
