More comprehensive user guide
I've found Bliss hard to get into, as I didn't understand how it was scanning, what was being fixed automatically and what the numbers in the summary after scanning meant (had they been fixed? Did I need to still fix them all manually?). Other questions sprang to mind: What is the "Inbox" for (I thought Bliss automatically fixed the things listed in there)? Why can I only fix visible things in the Inbox a page at a time (why not one click to apply all fixes)? What do the different reports in "Activity" mean (why does it tell me a folder contains music, but it's going to ignore it)?
I think more comprehensive user documentation is needed on your site, with step-by-step how to guides explaining how the process works, and what all the scan results mean - plus how to get as much as you can working automatically. You've a great piece of software here, but it could be greatly improved with better tutorials!

Thanks Andrew.
Broadly speaking I'd rather the tool speak for itself and be self documenting; clearly there's more work to do.
To answer your questions, to maybe elicit ways we can make this more obvious...

Which summary do you mean?
> What is the "Inbox" for (I thought Bliss automatically fixed the things listed in there)?
As per the other idea, some fixes have to be manually confirmed. That's all the Inbox is for.

Is this on a Synology? It might be reporting @eaDir folders which have files with names that look like music files, but aren't.
