I again tried 2.6 this time test release 4.. The problem adding via samba to my hdd is still there. Just comes up no space on disc although there is in fact plenty. I returned to 2.5 and it accepts new music..
Obviously i seem to be the only person to have encountered this but as its happened on 2 different releases i cant really blame my set up now.
So i will have to stick with 2.5

Hi Tim,

Hope you are well

Moode is great, but one thing that annoys me is when you type the name of an artist/group into the search box, and all that comes back are individual tracks from the artist/group searched on, not albums, which is quite frustrating, especially if there happens to be 20-odd relevant albums stored on your hard drive(s), and so often 100s of tracks pop up, but with no immediate access to the albums which the tracks come from.

Is there any way you could alter the software so that albums, not tracks from albums, appear when the search box is used?

Marco.

Hi Marco,

The search function in the Library panel returns the list of Albums. Give that a try :-)

Ah, that's better! I've never even seen that before... I was just using the little search box

Excellent

I'd disable that other box, Tim, as it's distracting and now seems pointless.

Hi all ,

I tried plugging a USB drive (my passport ) into the pi and updated the mpd but after updating for quite a while I can't see any music on the drive. Is there a trick to this?

Try doing a reboot via the web interface and then check library, mine did this and although it looked like it was just sitting doing nothing it had actually added my library.
