Need Help

My current music setup is lidarr, which I know many people hate, aurral, slskd, qbit, and navidrome. Qbit and slskd are behind gluetun. My folder setup is based on what the trash guides told me. From my data folder, I have /media/music, where my preexisting library is, then I have /slskd with downloads and incomplete. There's also a /torrent with a lidarr folder in it.

My lidarr and aurral have the root data folder mounted. Slskd only has its own folder mounted, and navidrome has the media/music. My problem is I don't know how or which tool to use to get the qbit and slskd downloads moved or linked into my nicely organized music folder. I think lidarr is supposed to do this with hardlinks? But the one album I downloaded, which was 320kbps mp3s, refused to import saying there were no eligible files. Lidarr helpfully (/s) doesn't say why the files failed the checks. So as it stands, I have music in my main folder with artist subfolders, in /slskd/complete, and /torrent/lidarr. I don't want navidrome mounting the root folder because then it will uselessly scan hundreds of non media folders.

What does a typical functioning structure look like, without manually moving folders around?
