Amarok uses kdelibs, and that has the ability to refresh it's cache. After creating a directory amarok does not "pick up" the change. Stef

Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11 FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

But to be complete: kde 4.9.1 amarok 2.6 git build date 3 sep 2012 I'm trying to solve a "bug" in dolphin about dolphin getting slow when dealing with a fs which is not fast. See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288824 So I saw that apps can use kdelibs (KDirList) in "cached mode" and in "refresh/reload" mode. It looks like amarok never does a reload. Then it's not picking up changes. Stef

Amarok doesn't reflect the changes you make to a directory under Local Collection? Do you have "Watch folders for changes enabled"? What happens if you manually hit "Update Collection"? Are you aware that Amaork doesn't watch files, just directories, so the directory mtime must change in order for Amaork to pick it up. Amarok doesn't use kdelibs for scanning, so the bug you're linking cannot be the cause.
