Can't Add Music
#1
Hey guys I'm having lots of trouble adding my music to xbmc.

I was able to add video easy by going into the video category and then using add source.

this does not exist when i go into music. I have checked the wiki and trying pressing "c" to view the context menu in music and all it displays is "update library" and "settings". nothing about adding source like video does when i do similar.

finnaly i tried editing the sources.xml located in

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\sources.xml

and adding a test folder in the music section:
Code:
<music>
        <default pathversion="1"></default>
        <source>
            <name>test</name>
            <path pathversion="1">C:\test\</path>
        </source>
    </music>

yet when i open music nothing comes up.

please help this is killing my brain

many thanks

ps using the newest build (dled 3 days ago)

I have a vague memory of seeing something about this hereabouts, but I can't remember the details.

Try turning off library mode before adding the source.

I have this same confusion. Not a very friendly UI for someone trying to add Music to their library. I could figure out video easy enough, but music is another story Eek

Go to the "Files" section of Music. Either by following a link off the Home Menu or by disabling Library Mode.

You will then see an option that says "Add Source". Add your music files. Hit C and scan to library.
