    I currently have a QNAP Nas that contains my music collection of 60,000 tracks.
    I have Jellyfin ver 10.10.1 installed. 
    I also have Plex version 4.141.0 installed
    I have Foobar2000 version sprunki2.24.1 installed on a Windows 11 laptop.
    I use Foobar2000 to edit my music collections meta data, specifically ratings and genre
    I understand that ratings do not transfer from Foobar2000 to either Jellyfin nor Plex
    I am trying to get the "genre" field to be synced between the three programs.
    I have for example, a genre in Foobar2000 that contains 78 tracks.
    I have rescanned my music library in both Jellyfin and Plex
    When I go to Jellyfin, it shows I have 65 tracks
    Plex shows 73 tracks.
    I went into Plex and updated the genre metadata to match the 78 tracks that Foobar2000 shows.
    Then rescanned the Plex library, and then the Jellyfin library.
    Plex matches Foobar2000, but Jellyfin still shows 65 tracks (instead of 7Nerd-face.
    Is there something I'm missing that causes these results?
    Please advise.

    You can try adjust Jellyfin Metadata Settings:
    • In Jellyfin, go to Dashboard > Libraries > [Your Music Library] > Edit Metadata Settings.
    • Check the “Metadata readers” section. Ensure “Use embedded tags” (or similar) is enabled and prioritized over online fetchers like MusicBrainz. You might need to disable external metadata providers temporarily to force Jellyfin to rely solely on your file tags.
    • Under “Refresh metadata,” select “Replace all metadata” instead of just scanning for new files, then trigger a full library refresh.
