Title: Doesn't add new tracks to music library (music stored on external USB hard drive) Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This has been happening for a long time - I think more than a year. My music collection is on a USB external hard drive. Every time I use Rhythmbox, I always update some information in the ID3 tags of my music collection. I also add new music once in a while, or I use MusicBrainz Picard to correct the tags for one or more albums at a time. The problem is that when I add new music to the nominated storage location, the music does not appear in the library within Rhythmbox. I have left the application for up to 12 hours (or more) and the tracks have still not appeared. Yesterday I managed to trick the application into showing the tags by moving albums from the existing music library to another location with the new albums, and then moving the whole lot back, and then moving the new albums to the correct artist. Unfortunately, although they appear in the library, they are of course in the wrong location and are seen by Rhythmbox as 'missing files'. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu 11.10 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center 2.90.1 3) What you expected to happen New or retagged music to appear in music library 4) What happened instead It does not appear ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: rhythmbox 2.90.1~20110908-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-14.23-generic 3.0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic i686 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Jan 21 07:23:58 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/rhythmbox InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) SourcePackage: rhythmbox UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-11-13 (68 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/919418/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
