So, I’m using Emby server, and that works great. But I have a folder with mixed music, various artists and songs, some artists only one or two songs. So, I created a playlist in Emby with those songs. The problem is, Symphonium recognizes each song as a separate album. How to prevent that? Can I exclude that folder from syncing/scanning?
Upload description: No log needed
Emby
Wrong as written a lot. I can’t know what Emby sends without those logs …
Symfonium displays what Emby sends so if it’s a different library you can exclude in the provider page settings or filter via the global filter.
Else fix Emby side of the data.
It’s not a different library. It’s a folder inside my main, the only, music library. There are no error or something in the log. I just wanted to know why Symphonium shows each single song as an album. If I have 10 different songs, bu different artists, in a folder, like a compilation, Symphonium will show it as 10 separate albums.
Again Symfonium displays what Emby sends.
Since you decided that the logs are not necessary despite them being necessary I can’t see what Emby sends to show you.
OK, ok, not a problem. 
I have uploaded the log, the name is Nabukodonosor.
And what are the albums names ?
Have you checked Emby album list to see if they are there too ?
They are not there as albums, but as a folder with songs:
And in the app, the first row for example, are 3 songs presented as 3 separated albums:
As you can see they are returned by Emby as albums …
And if you check the actual album list in Emby it’s probably the case too
As explained in each answers: Symfonium displays the data that Emby sends it does not access the tags or the folder structure or anything.

OMG you’re right! I’ve just found on their forum that in order to avoid this I have to tag every song with the same album and album artist, for example ‘My collection’. That way they will all be one single album, but in Symphonium I will loose the Album information. Terrible solution.
