 # Music
 
-The most common organization scheme for music is separation by artist and then album.
+You should organize albums into folders, with one folder containing one and only one album. <br/>
+Jellyfin does not care how you organize albums together, as long as each album is contained within one folder. <br/>
+Filenames do not matter since the info will be scraped from the embedded metadata of the tracks.
 
 ```txt
-/Music
-    /Artist
-        /Album
-            01 - Song.mp3
-            02 - Song.mp3

-You can also separate your music into artist folders or with no folder structure at all.

-```txt
-/Music
-    /Artist
-        01 - Song.flac
-        02 - Song.flac
-    08 - Song.ogg
-    09 - Song.ogg
-```

-Individual songs have no required parameters for filenames since the information will be scraped from metadata.

 ## Discs
 
-Albums with several discs will be fine with the metadata tags, but you can also use subfolders for the discs. The number can be appended after a space, hyphen, or directly after one of the following keywords.
-
-* Disc
-* Disk
-* CD
-* Vol
-* Volume
+Albums with several discs are identified by the metadata tags. Please place the tracks for all disks in one folder

+## File Extensions / Containers
 
-## File Extensions
+Jellyfin should support most common music formats. Exceptions as follows:
 
-Files with a ".mp4" file extension are not recognised as music. If the file does not contain a video change the extension to ".m4a", otherwise it is not found during a library scan.
+- MP4 with only audio: `.mp4` files won't be recognized as music. Please rename them to `.m4a`.
+- `.flac` files with embedded WebP images may fail to play in Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave etc.).
