    LMS on Ubuntu 12.04

    Hi, I've installed LMS for my Squeezebox on Ubuntu 12.04, which will be my new media server. How can I tell LMS to look in the default 'music' folder for the files? It dioesn't seem to see them by default, unless I add the folders to the Playlist. Any help much appreciated!

    And if you can't browse to that folder , have a look at the permissions for the directories and files LMS is it own user and may not have the rigth read anything your user directory .

    And do a clear and rescan everything afterwards
