cannot add mp3 files to the library

Post by gimel »

Hi,

I have ubuntu 10.4 (lucid), and i just installed GQ from the PPA repositories.
when i'm trying to add mp3 to the library, i see that they are disabled in the "browse" window, and adding the folder gives me nothing.
GQ version = 0.3.1-1639

I tried to put a single mp3 file on the desktop (hence, no links/mounts), and saw that it's chmod 777.

other media players are working just fine.

any ideas ?

thanks in advance

happy to share the following :
1. need to add folder (and not files)
2. folder shouldn't be a link
3. need to do "rescan" after the "add library"

hope it will help those who have some issues.
