I use Jellyfin for my music collection, and sometimes the album artist and artist fields for the same artist will be populated slightly differently. For instance, I have one case where there are three different ways using &, ‘and’ and +. I have removed these from my library, updating them with manually with MusicBrainz Picard to use the same spelling, and reuploaded them to my server. However, it uses the old metadata still.

Is there a way to efficiently reset metadata for only certain albums so that these three instances are merged and I can access all three albums from the same album artist?

    Yesterday I spent close to 1½h to fix my genres in my music library.
    There were some entries like EDM;Dance;Pop;Dubstep Instead of individual entries.
    For specific entries I think you’d need to refresh + replace all metadata entries in the metadata or fixing the entry with the correct release group id.
    I use .nfo files alongside the media. I usually delete them when some metadata get’s “stuck” during refreshes.

      Can you do the refresh + replace all metadata for a single item, or would that trigger replacement of all metadata? (I asked a similar question under another comment here)
