[Solved] MPD shows music directory structure, but no music files
Both ncmpcpp and sonata can connect to mpd, but when I browse my music directory I don't see any music.
$ ss -tlp
LISTEN 0 128 :::6600 :::* pid_file "/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
db_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"
state_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"
music_directory "/var/lib/mpd/music"
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "Onboard sound card"
mixer_type "software"
}All folders and songs under /var/lib/mpd/music/albums have chmod value of 777 and are owned by $USER and its group.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Re: [Solved] MPD shows music directory structure, but no music files
Did you update the mpd databse ?
With ncmpcpp, press 'u'.

Re: [Solved] MPD shows music directory structure, but no music files
of course your user has access to that directory? (including parent directories)
He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.
