What would be the command to allow a specific application to view other drives, like Clementine ?
I can't add content to my library from other drives.

Just give the required permission
sudo snap connect clementine:removable-media
sudo snap connect clementine:desktop-legacy

I've entered a terminal as root** sudo su then:
1. Purge the snap version installed of the clementine package:
snap remove clementine --purge
2. Use apt install instead :
apt install clementine
I've also seen this issue in other/later Ubuntu Flavors's releases using gnome-software as a base like it seems to me, that installing another one (like synaptic or snaps) could cause this. Maybe there's a general way to do so that the rights of installed package are set too for a freshly installed software manager.
By the way, I always use an Ubuntu flavors's releases as a base installation and never have trouble with gnome-software installed packages (mostly apt install with terminal). I did not use Snaps on my other tests.
After that Clementine could access all my disks like it should.
