Folder structure:
Music > Genre > Artist > Year Album
Most of the subdirectories under artists looks like that, though it can vary.

File names:
track-songtitle.mp3
track - songtitle.mp3
track. - songtitle.mp3
band - album - track - songtitle.mp3
track_song_title.mp3

NONE of those have been synced to the library and that's very annoying.
There is two bands that have one record each synced, the rest is not syncing at all. (The first of those two that are working has a file structure like: track_song_title.mp3)
I have checked the ID3-tags and there aren't anything that says it shouldn't work.

Syncing TV-series and movies works like a charm.

I have had this problem a long time, and it hasn't worked completely in Ubuntu either. (Though, a few more bands was hooked up)

System info:
Linux mediacenter 3.2.13-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 24 09:10:39 CET 2012 x86_64 Intel® Atom™ CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
XBMC version 11.0

The system is running through a proxy, but that shouldn't have nothing at all to say in this.

What is the problem here?! This is very frustrating.

Music scraping is more or less done based on ID3 tags and not file names, but you do mention that those should be correct. See if you can get us a debug log that might tell us more about what XBMC is doing during the scan/scrape.

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc

Here's a pastebin of a log.

Are using the skin AeonNox atm.
Have earlier used Transparency, if that is relevant.[/quote]

Ned Scott: Do you have a synced music library? And, if so, how have you done it?

Sorry for bump, but the solution for this was:

Apperantly on a read-only Apache-source it couldn't scan that much mp3's.
But now, when activating NFS file sharing, the whole music-source was scanned into the library.
Try a different source if you can't scan from your music-source.
