Help with an album named "." - TurtleIdiot - 2025-08-22
Hello,
I recently bought a CD copy of the album . by Kesha. Yes, the album is literally called "." as in a full stop/period.
This has already caused the ripping software I use on my server (cyanrip) to dump the files in my home directory instead of creating a folder with the album's name.
I'm wondering how on earth I'm supposed to add this album to my music collection in a way that it gets recognised by jellyfin and isn't a mess.
I'm currently using the following folder structure:
Music
| - [Artist]
| - [Album]
| - 01 - [Song name].flac
| - et cetera ...
Does anyone know how to make this work?? I was thinking about .nfo files since i heard them somewhere but I'm not sure if they will work if the album directory name is mismatched (since i'll have to rename it).
Any help appreciated

Naming the folder Period (2025) works for me.
