From the Innuos servers site I read the following about their servers (which use innuOS based on LMS or a version of it if I am not mistaken):

“Quarantine
Quarantine is a staging area, separate from the Music Library, where any albums requiring attention are placed so they can be fixed before they go into the Music Library. These include:

Albums with no metadata
Ripped albums with damaged tracks
Potentially duplicated albums
Albums ripped offline“

Is this “Carantine” feature something that can be done in LMS too?

The innuOS music servers support two CD ripping modes: Automatic Mode and Assisted Mode. Our Music servers are shipped pre-configured for Automatic Mode so you can get started right away. In Automatic Mode, if all CD data can be found the CD will be stored in the Music Library, any CDs that can not be handled automatically (unknown, damaged or duplicated discs) will be stored in the Quarantine.

As LMS does not do ripping the answer would be no.

However when I rip I write the data to a "Newly Ripped" folder before inspection and transfer to my "Music" storage this is easy to do.

I was thinking more for the already ripped albums that happen to have but need fixes...
Thnx!

Whats useful here is the Playlist Manager plugin.
By default it already has playlists named "Bad Music", "Bad Cover", "Bad Tag" etc.
What I do when I come across a track or album with an error is to add it to one of these playlists for later correction. I never "play" any of said playlists but its very useful as an aide-memoir.

NB.
The Playlist Manager plugin adds an "Add to" item in More but this is NOT visible in the default skin but it is visible in Material Skin and in iPeng and perhaps other controller apps.

Very useful info...
This plugin works even if playlists are not activated in the first setup?
I think that I didn’t enable playlists.
Is it possible to do it now?
Thank you!!

Of course, just specify a playlist folder and click "Apply".

Doesn’t it have to be crated first?
Is it better to create the folder in the same place where my music is (NAS)? If this is the best location then it’s easy to create the folder.
If it’s better to be in the mSD card then I would need some instructions how to do it!

Thanks!!

Yes create it first, on your NAS, but not in your music folder.

Say:

NAS/Music
NAS/Playlists

Absolutely correct

Just to explain to OP if you have playlist folder inside Music then the scanner will scan it and it can result in duplication of tracks in the database. Having a playlist folder outside the scanner path stops this from happening.
