The scanning part of LMS - looks at audio & playlist files, examines the
metadata and cue files and generate a database with records for tracks.
This enables the various menu to be generated.

If you enable logging in the scanning process - most of it will be saved
in scanner.log and will indicate the processing of each file.
However there are some circumstances when logs from scanning will be
saved in the server.log such as cue file.

To understand why no albums are appearing after the scanning process -
need to check what happens during the scanning process from a clean
start (i.e. no databases) and whether it looks normal.
