Thanks for the tip, Mnyb. People like me who rarely get into the workings of Linux struggle with 'mounting'. So Google came to the rescue and I can now find the unscanned music files on my Windows machine from LMS on the VortexBox. In case it will help others, I logged into the VortexBox as root with CryptoTerm and mounted the windows share with this command:
mount -t cifs -o username=guest,password="" //123.456.1.7/Musictemp /mnt/Musictemp I could then list the music files that are on the Windows PC and are not in the LMS library. And to make the mount persistent so that it will be there next time the VortexBox boots I used nano to edit /etc/fstab to include this line: //123.456.1.7/Musictemp /mnt/Musictemp smbfs username=guest,password="" 0 0 And I think it took me between three and four hours to reach the point where I can listen to unscanned music.... A bit of a mission but some more learning achieved, hopefully.
