Hi.
I've been using a plain Squeezebox for a few years, and yesterday I added a Squeezebox Radio. At the same time, I reloaded my music library and playlist paths in media server. As a result (?), no music will appear under the artist, album, genre, playlist folders etc. I am using JRiver Media Center as my library/organizing tool, but my music is stored on an EHD (Western Digital MyBook). However, a workaround seems to be adding folders under the Library/Media Source/Media Foldes option. This will make the individual folders I am adding, appear under the "Music Folder"s on my players. Still, no access to playlists etc.
Is this due to storing my library on an external HD? It seems that my radio (at least) is set to find music on my C:\ catalogue.
Any help would be much appreciated. In tea-spoon mode, please. I'm not at all any technically advanced.

If you're still having problems with your playlists, here's a couple of things to check.
In settings for Logitech Media Server or Squeezebox Server, depending on which version you're running,go to the Basic Settings tab.
Then check to see if the paths are correct for Media Folders and Playlists Folder."You know, I'm all for progress. It's change I object to."

Maybe there's something I've missed, yes. May I be messing up Media Server and Squeezebox server? I'm using Media Server for sure, but, as I also have a Squeezebox Standard (early version) installed, should I also run Squeezebox Server? I should think not, but have to make sure.
Anyway, now my files are found under My Music/My Folders while My Music/Artist etc. are (still) blank. And yes, I'm sure the paths are correct, which is also why the files appear under My Folders when doing a rescan.
