subdirectories in music files path

Thanks, I have pretty much exhausted my knowledge of the who field when I verged into Sub-directories.  Metadata is a term I’ve heard but it’s way beyond my ken. 

I suggest you Google it. Music files contain information about the music - artist, album, composer, track name and so on.

Sonos uses this information to create the Music Library.  It looks like some of the data is missing from some of your files.

Either you tackle this or you live with the current situation.  Sonos is doing exactly what it should do with the information it is being given. 

And it’s not overly complex, once you understand how that information is stored/connected to a file. There are relatively easy ways to look at that data, and then modify it out there, so that applications such as Sonos and many others will properly sort your music files. 

I am a foolish old man.  When I buy something, I don’t envision spending time under the hood (never mind that fact that mfgr today go out of their way to make this impossible) to get it to do what I want. 

Thanks to all who tried to teach me some new stuff.  Helps me realize the problem.  In the end I’ll just ignore the search function.

I’m an old man too….but seriously, it’s not a lot to learn here. 10 minutes in, you’ll most likely have an ‘aha!’ moment, and you’ll be off to the races.
