I recently added several albums to my library on a USB mounted SSD. All are showing in the library folder if I connect the drive to my Mac. However, two of the albums aren’t available in Volumio when I chose Music Library as my source.
I’ve rescanned and updated the Library with no success.
Any help?
Thanks
Check the tags for artist name and album name.
and check the logs for errors after you ran an update
Not sure what you’re referring to with “tags”. I’ve searched under both Artist and Album.
Is there something else I should check/adjust?

just ran a log
hope this helps
Please run the log after the scan of your library finishes.
I’m only seeing entries for a few tracks in the queue. Since you’re a Mac user, did you copy the new albums while the USB device was connected to your Mac? It might be a rights issue. A scan log will help us determine if that’s the case.
yes - I plugged the drive into USB on my Mac to move the files over. looking at the rights in File Info, they appear the same as other searchable/playable albums.
Please explain how I can do a scan log.

new log just after rescan of Library
Just the same as the previous log.
But now go to Sources => Rescan.
When completed the full scan go, generate the log as you just did in the previous reply.
You’re faster the me typing…

Seems permission errors as expected. Are these the missing entries?
With the exception of Over the Waterfall. I can see that. The others are the missing entries.
And many thanks for your help.
What should be my next steps?
Not a Mac user, bought a MaxBook Pro a few years back and got fed up with it after 3 months and passed it to my daughter.
So very global
Connect via ssh to volumio, check the permissions of the folders in the mount that are working and change owner and permissions identical to working folders, with the commands chown and chmod
Duplicated the same using Ubuntu and formatted the USB as ext4. The files are not being scanned.
In the logs I see:
Oct 22 21:34 : exception: Failed to open /var/lib/mpd/music/USB/Music: Permission denied
Checking the root folder on permissions and owner:
volumio@rpi4-argon:/mnt/USB$ ls -lD /mnt/USB/
total 8
drwx------ 8 volumio volumio 4096 Oct 22 21:26 Music
Correct permissions (R/W) recursive:
sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/USB/Music

volumio@rpi4-argon:/mnt/USB$ ls -lD /mnt/USB/

Hit Rescan and all files are being read:
Thanks! I’ll get on it today
Thanks for the assistance.
I was able to make the changes directly on the SSD using the terminal on my Mac. Everything is now visible and playable from the Library.
From now on I’ll check permissions and adjust as needed before I add music to the library.
Thanks again.
