I am guessing that your music folder is rather large. Unfortunately nautilus will take a while to show the 
folder on any system if the folder has a lot in it. This is because the accessibility framework has to go 
over the contents of the folder and create accessibility objects for every folder and file that nautilus 
intends to show graphically.
