Jellyfin detecting all media, except music (alien.top)

Hey, so I'm running the latest stable version of Jellyfin and have encountered a nightmare of a bug, as mentioned in the title.

The library has correct permissions and infact jellyfin seems to extract images and album covers but the music is absolutely empty. Tried a lot and lot of workarounds but no avail.

One weird behaviour though, when I enable folder mode and navigate to the music directory, hit play, I'm greeted with the client isn't compatible or server isn't sending compatible media error, although the folder is empty(shows as,), so might just be indicative of that.

All other media works fine in thier respective libraries. The updated log doesn't show any unatrual behaviour. Music is in .MP3/FLAC format.

Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is folder structure. Is your music organised in the "Jellyfin Way"?
