2. Click on Refresh Music Collection
3. App scans

Comment 2 Torgny Bjers 2021-11-15 15:43:54 UTC 
I found the file indexing setting in the preferences and changed it to direct indexing and everything started working. But, why doesn't it work with the standard indexer? What other information can I provide to help you with this?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-11-23 19:26:09 UTC 
Do you have Baloo file indexing disabled systemwide?
