Questions about how to present radio shows on Jellyfin (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

My Jellyfin server happens to have a lot of radio dramas on it, which are currently in the Music folder. I tried putting them in a Shows folder but it did not recognize the mp3 files. Personally, I'm a bit frustrated by this since it would be so nice to set a theme song for each of them like you would a TV show. Is there a way to make that happen?

And while we are on the topic, is there a better way to present radio dramas on Jellyfin? Or am I stuck with presenting each one as an extremely large music album?

I normally love opinionated software, but ~~Jellyfin's options often just kind of suck.~~ (Edit: the option I needed was there, I just missed it!)

It ~~would be~~ is nice to have an option to mark a folder as "Just list these in alphanumeric order, and play them when I click on them".

~~But I'm not aware of such an option.~~

Per recommendation, the Jellyfin library types "Mixed Movies and Shows" and "Home Videos" seem to behave much less opinionatedly. Thanks!

I use the "mixed" library type for random Internet videos. It basically just lists whatever files you put in there. You can organize stuff into folders, or just toss everything together like you want to.

Thank you!

I never thought to consider a different top level library type. Thank you!

My Jellyfin has been very challenged by out-of-copyright cartoons that originally aired in theaters.
