I just installed on my netbook Saucy 13.10,( not upgraded), so maybe I can help the team. test 1) Copied into folder Music some mp3 music files and started rhythmbox. No problem in file recognition, Artist, title, album.... The files are correctly played. test 2) added an external usb disk folder with mp3 files, without copying the files in the Music folder. No problems with tag and music is played correctly test 3) pluged in my Samsung galaxy s2 that has been mounted automatically with MTP protocol from which I can see al files inside. I Tryed to play or add to rhythmbox an mp3 directly from the device, but I was unable to do it. I believe this is my misconfiguration problem, not involved in this bug.
Tell me if I can do other. bye Stblack -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210891 Title: Doesn't recognize music files in portable device Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I plugged in my S3 (SCH-I535) with hundreds of music files, but when I plugged it in to my computer and opened Rhythmbox, Rhythmbox... - listed 200 files - set all fields (Title, Artist, etc.) to Unknown ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: rhythmbox 2.99.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-6.17-generic 3.10.3 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-6-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.336 Date: Sat Aug 10 23:05:05 2013 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha amd64 (20130810) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: rhythmbox UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1210891/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
