On dapper svn-1463:
I still have a folder on NTFS called /MP3’s/ I’m having trouble adding this folder (probably due to the ‘ ). Does anybody know how I can fix this?
I’m hoping to get a new disk soon, so I can change the name of this folder in ext3.
In German, we call this Deppenapostroph since many use this ‘ for building the plural.
Guess in English it’s getting incorrect more and more as well… so why don’t you jsut rename the folder to its correct form MP3s? 😆 (or is there any special reason you can’t rename it currently? If it’s just about NTFS, some kind of live CD with NTFS writing enabled (or even a BartPE CD) may suffice if its just that you don’t have any Windows installed currently).
(and yes, I’m allowed to make fun of it, I’m not really better since I made the same mistake when creating the smart playlist wizard 😉 )
Also, you have to know about the infamous Deppen Leerzeichen 😀
Normally in UNIX ‘special’ characters are handled with a preceding (backslash) character. this is the escape character, and the character after this is not treated ‘special’.
In UNIX in most shells the ‘ character includes a command that is executed by the shell, and its output is being inserted in the current expression.
most famous is prolly something like:

Ugh. Can you mount it utf-8? Or make your mp3 dir a folder up?
I can’t ‘make’ anything of it. The folder resides on an ntfs-disk and I can’t change anything about it (or else risking corrupting everything).
But, I’ll keep everything on hold for a couple more weeks when I get my new disks (holliday madness huh)

Yeah, I got that. But can you set your mp3_dir to a folder just above that.
Like rather than /mnt/ntfs/MP3’s, use /mnt/ntfs?
^ oh yeah, I tried that, didn’t work. I get a “Error: 500general:mp3_dir”
btw, the dir is
/media/hda3/Muziek/MP3’s/
or
/media/hda3/Muziek/ which gives the 500 error.
ok, I now changed permissions on /media/ and it will accept the folder in the config, but when I scan for files I get:
