New music no longer being added to Plex

For the past few months, maybe since the last update?, Plex is no longer recognizing new music added to the watched folder. Rescanning doesn’t work. I removed the folder from Plex and re-added it. After the full rebuild of the library, those recently added music did not show up. Any ideas?

Reboot the server and try a manual scan after that.

Is Plex looking at the folder you’re adding music to?

I’m an idiot. Woke up this morning with a thought which turned out to be correct.

I don’t understand how or when, but iTunes moved the default folder. New music was not going to the correct location. iTunes is now cleaning up the mess and I expect that Plex will find those songs.
