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?

As others have said, Jellyfin is not the correct tool for this job right now. One of the things that should come out as a result of the EFCore database migration is new library types. One of those being podcasts. The old database made it incredibly difficult to add a new media type so that roadblock is gone now. So possibly soon™.

I would treat these like podcasts and use ABS to play them. Or any other podcast app. Keep in mind that ABS is heavily geared towards audiobooks and the web interface. Everything outside of that (native apps and podcasts) is not a major priority for new features from the current set of devs. Which isn't a bad thing! Podcasts plenty well enough to be useful.
