Followed the recommendations of [this article](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265296-adding-music-media-from-folders/).

Set up a music folder in the plex library. Dropped a test album in the folder. Nothing. Plex doesn’t see it.

```auto
/Music
   /Anthony Burger
      /The Best of Anthony Burger from the Homecoming Series

```

The CD was ripped in iTunes.

What did I do wrong?

What sort of system do you have your server installed on? maybe it Plex does not have permissions to see/read the files. Are they on a local drive or a network drive? Did you manually tell it to scan or are you expecting it to detect new files and scan automatically? What are some of the track file names ( If iTunes made them, I’m sure they are ok, but good to confirm)

File name are like this.

01 Goodbye, World, Goodbye  
02 Great Is Thy Faithfulness - How Big Is God - How Great Thou Art Medley  
03 Just A Little While - The Meeting In The Air Medley

I have plex installed on a synology nas. Been running it with movies and tv shows for years. I was reading your comment a second time, and as I’m typing it hit me… permissions, plex doesn’t have sufficient permission!

Problem solved. Thank you!
