Cheers for this!
Last time I had to relearn this skill all the old guides were from the 00's still.
The guide is about ripping, not naming, there is tons of documentation about proper naming of your files.
If you are confused though, for shows you can use sonarr to properly name them, and for music use musicbranz picard to properly tag your albums and youll hardly ever run into an issue again....
... until you try to sort out futurama. But by then youll be an expert!

As an example of some things unique to those use cases that would be nice to cover here;
- Whether or not to keep Intros/Outros embedded into files. There are pros and cons for each case, and some series are more difficult than others to properly strip the intro/outro from. However, it can often save significant space to have the intro/outro as separate files from the main video, and it sidesteps the intro/outro skipping issue. The downside is that many series have unique intros/outros for each episode (The Simpsons for example) in which case, it may be preferable to keep to intro/outro for all shows just to maintain consistency.
- As for music, there's the whole shenanigans with properly naming/filing them all. Jellyfin is honestly just kind of bad at figuring out what's going on with my music library.
