ok, it wasn't top gun -- that was just on pause, lol. when i remove the directory "comfort/avalon (2012)" from the file hierarchy, mpd is able to update the entire database.
flac -a reports errors on all files within the directory, and file(1) reports only that they are "data". i'm going to see what happens when i load just this directory and do other obvious experiments. -- nick black http://www.sprezzatech.com -- unix and hpc consulting to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
