Hello..
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, 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...
Might be an unknown or corrupt file in the directory.
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
