Even Under the Music tab off the home screen I select Add Source > root filesystem> media > USB0. Once its added as a source in order to play each song I have to go back to the main Music screen then sources screen, select USB0, then browse for the folder containing the artist I want then to the subfolder containing the albums then to the subfolder containing tracks.

I want to go from the main home screen > audio and play track after track with having the go back and forth through menus to access each track.

I have tried going to Settings > audio > import library and selecting root filesystem> media > USB0 >"Music" folder but the OK button is greyed out, not selectable.

While on the Home Screen when Music is highlighted, if I open the submenu it gives me options for, "Recently played", "Recently added", "Genres", "playlists", "Artists", "Albums", "Party Mode", "Compilations", "Top 100", "Update Library".... etc and they're all empty. I click Update Library, nothing happens. How do I get XBMC to see the files on my flash drive and add them to the visible library? I'm really tired of having to go through the add sources file browser to play every track.

I'm going to be installing this setup in vacation rental properties so it must be fool proof. Renters have a knack for completely abandoning their brains when they enter a house so there's no way I can have them browsing through a file system for tracks, and movies. It has to be very straight forward.

I seem to have the exact same problem. I added the movies without any problems but cannot import the music library using: settings > music > import music library

When I go to the folder (root file system > media > usb1 > music) the 'ok' is greyed out. Is this the correct way to set it up?

Because I can't seem to find how to start scanning/scraping.

Under music > add source, I have added the correct location. Through there I can get to my music collection. But Library mode is greyed out.

In the xbmc the library doesn't show.
