Songbird not finding all my music?
Amarok (remotely) finds 26,000 songs. Songbird only finds 17,000. What's up with that? Both pointed at the same root folder. 0.6.1 on OS X 10.5.2. find command finds 30,000 files.
I’m bemused

Inappropriate?Could depend on the kind of media and songbird not recognizing specific types. For example lets say .mp3's.
Do you have all gstreamer plugins installed? -
Inappropriate?There might be duplicates too... -
Inappropriate?Songbird doesn't allow duplicates in a library.

Inappropriate?I have the same problem, and it isn't duplicates because there are whole folders, in a variety of media formats (including some already present on my playlist) that just don't show up. I don't fancy wading through 30G of music trying to find and add everything manually. -

I haven't installed any plugins. I can't imagine that 40% of my files are duplicates. Maybe Judi or I can find some pattern to, if its skipping entire folders.
I suspect there may be funny characters in some folder names that derail Songbird for example. Any suggestions or ways to get debug output, something analagous to this http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Statistics or set some flag so it will dump out messages about folders its skipping?
I’m curious yellow

Inappropriate?I have similar difficulties, and yes i am sure i have *some* duplicates, but like my WHOLE Led Zeppeling collection is missing, only a single album found, with a single track in it.. And that is having the complete discography on the drive!
Any resolve this yet, I am new was hope it was just a setting that needed to be tweaked???

Inappropriate?Same here: I have about 35 GB of music in multiple formats: Flac, MP3 and WMA
I am only seeing a fraction - with no rhyme or reason that I can see as to what shows up. I did remove all profiles and start fresh and Songbird found a bit more the second time. Still under 25% of the library (all in one folder on an external esata connected drive). Running 0.6.1 - previous versions did not have this issue.
If this is they way it handles large librarys better I think its back to the whiteboard. :) -
Inappropriate?I had this problem with strange characters in Directory name, File name or even Tags, maybe it's that?
