go to the Media Settings -> Music Settings menu and set Directory to
/mythlibrary/Audio, Tree Listing to "directory", Filename Format to
GENRE ARTIST ALBUM TITLE, and set the Ignore ID3 flag, and everything
would work as planned.

When I try to do that now, however, only a handful of tracks appear
correctly -- e.g. I can browse to Jazz -> Chet_Baker -> Baby_Breeze
and see the tracks listed properly, like 2 - Born to Be Blue.ogg.

But most tracks do not parse. For example, if I browse to Jazz ->
Chet_Baker -> My_Funny_Valentine, the tracks all appear as: 0 -
/mythlibrary/Jazz/Chet_Baker/M...

Here's some comparative data:

The only meaningful difference I see is that the tracks in Baby Breeze
have a hyphen, while those in My Funny Valentine do not. I don't
remember this ever having an effect before.


Here's another interesting data point to suggest hyphens are responsible:
