I'm still learning about metadata, MusicBrainz, how it gets along with Plex, etc. so bear with me here lol

My plan is to mostly comprise the library of files with already embedded, detailed metadata. This will be the majority. However, I also have some files that do not have any metadata (stuff from YouTube, for example).

Given this mixture, I am not quite sure how to go about the following settings:

  • Checking or unchecking "Prefer local metadata"
  • Agent - Plex Music or Plex Personal Media?
  • Genres - Plex Music, Embedded Tags, or None?
  • Album Art - Plex Music Only, Local Files Only, or Both?

And since most files have embedded metadata, do I actually need MusicBrainz Picard? Should I just add metadata manually to the files that don't have it first?
