Soundtrack metadata pls

[jforel]

I don't understand why all manner of big-name companies have issues with Soundtrack metadata. This one included. It's 40+ songs to do all of the effort of manually entering in song numbers, the people who made the song, the people who made the album cover art, etc, and that should already be placed in there as an effort to give credit where credit is due. And every single one of us that wants to upload their BG3 soundtrack to their YouTube Music or other service will be stuck doing that themselves when the company and/or band and artist should have done it. We're your customers, why are we also being treated as free labor? And this is commonplace for soundtracks here on Steam! I've spent hours dealing with this problem, I ought to email these companies and send them the bill for my wasted time. Larian Studios, you've just released the BG3 soundtrack, put that metadata in an update like you already should have done!

That doesn't solve the problem. My files themselves, downloaded as part of the 1.0 update to BG3, are supposed to credit Borislav Slavov while on my computer. They're supposed to properly sort themselves in order of track number if I upload them to an online service, such as the YouTube Music library of my personal account. And the files are doing neither. If they're listed as doing so for the official uploads on YouTube Music, that doesn't put the metadata into those files if I have them on my personal YouTube Music library, nor in my copy of the soundtrack from the 1.0 update. I should NOT have to do labor to make sure files themselves say what they should say when staring at them in my computer. And I've had this issue with so many companies and their soundtracks, that I've compiled 8 hours of free labor just to have soundtracks credit people, stay in order, and stay in their album together, when I look for them on my computer AND after uploading them to my personal account for YouTube Music. The worst part is that the metadata, the thing that is used to credit artists in the soundtrack downloads, shouldn't ever require an update to have metadata put into them, and it shouldn't ever require a customer to edit it in, the metadata should just come with the standard upload to Steam.

I didn't learn, for example, that Mick Gordon made the music for Wolfenstein: The New Order until I happened to listen to it months later on YouTube, when I had already purchased the soundtrack through Steam. So this isn't unique, and I've already emailed Valve to ask that they do something about such a widespread issue.
