Hi Trev,

I'm using Guix System (guix 77e768a), which comes with GNOME 42.4.

That's my experience too, although some things have improved.

In my case, only gnome-photos lists images from my ~/Images folder (and only that folder). Totem and gnome-music display a blank view. Music and Photos seem to be useless without autodiscovery because they don't seem to have any button to load media manually (or at least I can't find it).

This one has a corresponding bug report that I see you already found (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/39117).

Unfortunately I don't know how to fix that myself.
