Of course that makes sense:
Symbolic links are only going to work in a linux filesystem.
The external drive is vfat.
Thanks for your help guys.

Thankyou for your assistance.
This is my permissions:
uid=1000(phillip) gid=1000(phillip)
groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),106(lpadmin),121(admin),122(sambashare),1000(phillip)
This is the music directory (/media/Elements/newmusic) I am trying to
add the symbolic link in:
It should be the other way around, destination first, then new link.
Not:
sudo ln -s /home/phillip/Desktop /media/Elements/newmusic/desktop
But:
sudo ln -s /media/Elements/newmusic/desktop /home/phillip/Desktop
Type 'man ln' to check syntax.

Sorry about that. I have checked on my Ubuntu System on a USB drive

nwe music to the desktop, how do I play the newly download music
straight from the desktop on my Squeezebox through
You can do this. Make a symbolic link to the desktop in your music
directory. on the comand line you can use the ln -s command:-
ln -s desktop directory music directory/desktop
Then go into squeezecenter and check if it is seeing it. Go to Music
Library and select the Music Folder option.
