HDD is NTFS. Folders structure looks like this: HDD Root ---> !!!DLNA ---> !!!MUSIC ---> (Artist Name) ---> (Album Name) ---> files. Music format 80% of M-P-3 files 20% of F-L-A-C files. In (Album Name) folders are JPG's with covers and sometimes LRC files with lyrics.

Got a jump drive sitting around?
Try tossing 10-15 of the mp3 files in a folder and connecting it to the router and see if it works.
Or try the flac files.
That could help to see if its how the folder structure is setup.
Just try 1 or the other (mp3 vs flac) to see if its a formating of the music.

I'll do so. I'll try different folder structure and switch between M-P-3 and F-L-A-C. Do you think that NTFS is good file system or I should try something else?

If its able to read the files, you should be fine.
