Noob question on searching for songs

[Anonymous]

Hey there… question from a Noob.

I have Firefly setup on an Ubuntu 9.04 box. I copied my music over to the box and am wondering if Firefly can only search for songs in the subfolders located in the folder specified as the music location?

I copied my music from my MAC and of course all the songs are stored in each their own subfolders (names of the artists, then albums)… see below

Here is a directory listing of what is setup as the music folder (/media/MDASRV/):

david@david-desktop:/media/MDASRV$ ls -al

total 4020

drwxrwxrwx   5 david david    4096 2010-03-20 20:51 .

drwxr-xr-x   7 root  root     4096 2010-03-21 11:08 ..

-rwxr-xr-x   1 david david 4068750 2008-12-24 10:05 02 One Gun.m4a

drwx

3 david david    4096 2010-03-14 10:54 iphoto

drwxrwxrwx 386 david david   12288 2010-03-13 22:35 iTunes

drwx

2 root  root    16384 2010-03-20 20:42 lost+found

david@david-desktop:/media/MDASRV$ 

So Firefly will find the one .m4a song in that directory but it wont find the songs stored in the subfolders in the iTunes directory (i.e.):

david@david-desktop:/media/MDASRV/iTunes$ ls -al

total 1564

drwxrwxrwx 386 david david 12288 2010-03-13 22:35 .

drwxrwxrwx   5 david david  4096 2010-03-20 20:51 ..

drwxrwxrwx   6 david david  4096 2010-03-13 22:28 3 Doors Down

drwxrwxrwx   3 david david  4096 2010-03-13 22:28 54-40

drwxrwxrwx   3 david david  4096 2010-03-13 22:28 54•40

drwxrwxrwx   3 david david  4096 2010-03-13 22:28 Ace Of Base

drwxrwxrwx   3 david david  4096 2010-03-13 22:28 Adam Gregory

drwxrwxrwx   3 david david  4096 2010-03-13 22:28 Adam Sandler

As you can see, I’ve modified the permissions so that everyone should have access. Is there a way to get Firefly to search all subfolders in the specified music directory?

Thanks
heywood
