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
