Managing Separate Music Libraries in Jellyfin

[MattBlackOnly]

Hi,

I'm having some issues with how Jellyfin handles my music libraries and was hoping someone could offer some guidance. 

I have two separate music libraries in Jellyfin:

Music/
  ├── Artist/
  │    ├── Album/
  │    │    ├── track1.mp3
  │    │    ├── track2.mp3
  │    │    └── ... 
  │    └── Another Album/
  │          ├── track1.mp3
  │          └── ...
  └── Another Artist/
        ├── Album/
        │    ├── track1.mp3
        │    └── ...
        └── ...



Tracks/
  ├── track1.mp3
  ├── track2.mp3
  ├── track3.mp3
  └── ...

The Problem
It seems like Jellyfin is getting confused when an artist appears in both libraries. If an artist has even a single track in the Tracks folder, Jellyfin treats the Tracks folder as an album for that artist. For example, if I have a standalone track like:

Tracks/
  ├── Example Artist - Single Track.mp3

Then, Jellyfin displays Tracks as an album for "Example Artist." This behavior doesn’t seem correct because the Tracks folder is supposed to act as a flat, unorganized collection of songs, not as albums.


Expected Behavior

• The Music library should correctly display artists and their respective albums based on the folder structure.
  
• Songs for the Tracks library should not be shown when viewing an artist in the Music library.
  
• The Tracks library should show all tracks in one flat list without being categorized into albums or associated with artists in the Music library.
  

Questions

1. Is this a bug or expected behavior?
   
2. Is there a way to configure Jellyfin so that tracks in the Tracks folder aren’t treated as albums for artists?
   
3. Are there any best practices for organizing mixed music libraries like this?
   

Any advice or workarounds would be much appreciated, thanks in advance..
