[PROBLEM] Scanned in various locations but never see any music

[Nutul]

Now to figure out why it has only scanned as far as the first few artists in 'B'...

Check the MPD log (cat /var/log/mpd/log) to see if there is any error; the last successfully scanned file will be reported, so the following one most probably triggers an error / crashes MPD... so we can have a clue, and possibly help. You're not the first with this kind of issue.
