    SOLVED: I can't get the artist section to populate

    Firstly, I want to apologize in advance for any mistake I might do, it's my first time writing in a forum.
    I have searched this forum as well as Reddit and google for this issue, but did not find a solution and finally decided to ask myself.

    I have been using Jellyfin for a while for movies and had no issue there, but this week I decided to use it for my audio as well, so I look at the wiki and saw that I had to organize the media in the format

    Music
    ├── Some Artist
    │  ├── Album A
    │  │  ├── Song 1.flac
    │  │  ├── Song 2.flac
    │  │  └── Song 3.flac
    │  └── Album B
    │      ├── Track 1.m4a
    │      ├── Track 2.m4a
    │      └── Track 3.m4a
    └── Album X
        ├── Whatever You.mp3
        ├── Like To.mp3
        ├── Name Your.mp3
        └── Music Files.mp3

    in my case, I did it as follows
    Music
    ├── 'Extremo Duro'
    │  ├── 'Yo Minoría Absoluta'
    │  │  ├── Song 1.wav
    │  │  ├── Song 2.wav
    │  │  └── Song 3.wav

    etcetera

    the albums and songs appeared in the UI and I can play them fine, it's not completely fetching the metadata even if I manually identify the album from the UI button and finds a MusicBrainz entry that has more information such as the year or genre, but that does not bother me too much as I can manually enter those.
    The problem resides in that the Artists and Album Artists sections are completely empty

    Do the songs have metadata tags in them? Embedded tags are very important for music.

    A lot of users here, including myself, use Musicbrainz Picard app to automatically tag music. I suggest you run your music library through the app and then rescan in Jellyfin.
