Hello.. (Sorry if this shows up twice... Thought my security cert might cause a problem) I am using Rhythmbox 0.8.5 with fedora core 3. I have been having difficulties while loading a music library... I select File->Import Location and browse to the location of my music files and click ok. It appears to start reading the files and the "LOADING SONGS" progress bar appears.. But that is it... I have left it running all night and into the next day with no change... If I browse to the location of an individual album/group of songs, it seems to work fine and relatively quickly, but when I try to do the whole library at once... It never seems to end or make any progress...No New songs/artists appear... Anyone experience this behavior and know of a possible work around? Thought is it might have something to do with long file names, special chars etc.. (The library was pulled/copied from windows - actually it resides on a shared FAT partition between xp and linux) (OR MAYBE THERE IS A BETTER OPTION? - tried xmms but the library management & GUI is poor...) Thanks for any assistance John Best jbest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Yahoo Msgr: JohnJBest
