I can find hardly anything I'd want adding to a squeezebox. It's the best thing I've ever bought. Therefore I'm down to minor stuff: I might be wrong but I thought that part of the reason that sync never quite worked was the hardware. Either way: I'd love to see synchronisation actually properly

Interesting. Browse Music Folder causes the scanner to look at just those directories and add them to the database, which is working for you, which suggests that the files are readable and make sense to SS (though you knew this already!). But the scanner itself isn't finding them. OK, so try ru

@ceejay - The music folder is definitely correct as if I choose Browse>Music Folder on the Squeezebox, everything is showing and playable. In fact since I played an album by that method, that one artist/album now shows in the library. Weird. I'm not using iTunes or any other external database tool
