Music library: Directories
Opened this issue · 12 comments
Hi! I'm new to the Noson GUI application and I'm evaluating it for building a Raspberry based media controller for my Sonos at home. While finding the music library's artists, albums, genres and compositors works very well, I can't find an option for searching by directory. Sonos has the information since the official Sonos app finds it. Does Noson provide such a feature as well?
Otherwise, I'd like to submit a feature request since it would be incredibly useful in my opinion :-)
Cheers!
Hi - I am also looking for the option of browsing my music library by directory / folder. Thanks !
The release 5.0 allows to browse the library by directories.
Hi janbar.
Just tried the 5.0.5 release and appreciate the new function to browse directories in music library - thanks !
However, it doesn't seem possible to add a whole directory at a time to the queue - one has to enter into the directory to where the songs are and then add them individually. I would like to be able to do something like "right-click" (or use some other similar control) on the directory and add it (all songs contained in it) to the queue. My entire library is organized by album-as-directory, so this is how I always add music to the playlist in the official Sonos app and in other unofficial linux versions.
Thanks for your consideration and for all your excellent work !
I will activate this feature !
Initially that wasn't possible due to the possible huge size of the queue. I checked the official sonos app allows that, so YES, and devices manage a huge queue without issue.
Wow - thanks janbar - really appreciated !
I can indeed confirm through usage that Sonos devices can handle large queues - I have regularly loaded over 1000 songs from playlists or directories.
Salutations et merci beaucoup - vraiment chic de ta part.
It's great to see noson grow and mature! This app is getting more and more handy every year :-)
Looking forward to "Play all", another feature that will make noson even more useful. Thanks for your effort!
Hello NOSON friends,
I have been using NOSON for a few years and love it, but a week ago my computer crashed and I bought a new one. I am using Linux KDE Plasma, but NOSON doesn't "see" my Music Folder...
What can I do? I am using version 5.6.0
Many thanks
Alex
If you mean about "Music on the computer itself", the app browses the standard folder (i.e ~/Music for english locale) by default. Else you can setup an other path in the settings page.
What should be the directory path for the Android application? Thank you for this excellent app, works like a charm on Debian.
The directories are provided by the android system itself. Usually it is {Internal Storage}/Music , {Card ID}/Music etc.
I'm on Andoird 13, a moto phone, and the storage path when I check file info is:
/storage/emulated/0/Music/genre/album_name/music.mp3
I use syncthing to load this and other music files from the PC to phone, it plays from the PC.
