Music media folder structure - Daniel E. Shub - 2023-07-14
I am new to jellyfin. I am aware of the recommended structure for the music folder: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/music but I have an existing folder structure and would prefer not to have to mass move and rename things. Is the following structure for music going to cause problems?
Code:
'Stevie Wonder - Natural Wonder'
'01 - Stevie Wonder - Dancing to the Rhythm.flac'
"02 - Stevie Wonder - Love's in Need of Love Today.flac"
'03 - Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (jammin'\'').flac'
'04 - Stevie Wonder - Stevie Ray Blues.flac'
'05 - Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground.flac'
'06 - Stevie Wonder - Rocket Love.flac'
'07 - Stevie Wonder - Stay Gold.flac'
'08 - Stevie Wonder - Ribbon in the Sky.flac'
'09 - Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise.flac'
"10 - Stevie Wonder - If It's Magic.flac"
'11 - Stevie Wonder - Ms. & Mr. Little Ones.flac'
'12 - Stevie Wonder - Village Ghetto Land.flac'
'13 - Stevie Wonder - Tomorrow Robins Will Sing.flac'
'Stevie Wonder - Natural Wonder - Disc 2'
...
'Stevie Wonder - Talking Book (Original)'

No metadata changes are made to the files when you add them to a Jellyfin library. So give it a try and report back. The worst that can happen is that it misidentifies an album/song.
I can't imagine that the your naming is so far off from the expected convention that it straight up fails.
