    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.
