[SOLVED]First time ncmpcpp usage, no music is shown

Hi,

I am trying to try mpd and ncmpcpp, however, I couldn't get my music to be shown on ncmpcpp. I set up both ncmpcpp and mpd as instructed on the wiki, here is my config files:

~/.ncmpcpp/config:

mpd_host = "127.0.0.1"
mpd_port = "6600"
mpd_music_dir = "/home/yasar/Music"

~/.mpd/mpd.conf:

bind_to_address        "127.0.0.1"
port "6600"
music_directory "/home/yasar/Music"
playlist_directory "/home/yasar/.mpd/playlists"
db_file "/home/yasar/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "/home/yasar/.mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file "/home/yasar/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "/home/yasar/.mpd/mpdstate"

I am starting mpd from .xinitrc, and I don't see any errors. However, when I
started ncmpcpp, I don't see any music. My actual music are in subfolders of
Music folder, could it be the problem?

Yo Dawg, I heard you likes patches, so I have created a patch for your patch, so you can patch your patches before you patch.

On the first run, you need to update the mpd library from ncmpcpp by pressing 'u', have you done that?

I must have missed that.
