I posted this to Discuss and there has been no response in 11 days.

SUMMARY

I ripped an audio CD to mp3 format. I created a directory hierarchy with Artist-Name>Album-Name under my music directory (which is registered in Elisa). I copied the mp3 files into that specific directory for the album. When I started Elisa I could see that it found new music. It shows up in Files, but it doesn’t show up in Albums or Artists. I then tried rescan, reset database and rescan. I forced System Settings > File Search to rescan the Music directory. I copied album cover art into the directory. I checked file and directory permissions.

Nothing I do has made the album show up in Albums or Artists. I can’t think of anything else to try to fix this on my own.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rip an audio CD to mp3
2. Copy folder to under Elisa's music folder
3. Open Elisa

OBSERVED RESULT

Music shows up in Files but not in Albums or Artists.

EXPECTED RESULT

Expect new music to show up.
