Ok, here's a question for N900 owners...if you have a folder with random mp3/wav files, is this going to show up in media player? I only want folders containing music or playlists to show up. (concerning the audio section) I have all my mp3s divided into 6 genres, and dont want some genre saying "unknown" or something to show up.
If you make your own playlists and never go into the automatic playlists, you won't have to look at unwanted titles. Why would you put an mp3 on the n900 if you aren't going to listen to it?

When you say "refreshing the tracker", do you mean deleting its database and letting it rediscover everything?

is a file....(actually its an ogg file) all my songs are on ogg format. the forst time i got my n900 i put some songs on it and installed the ogg support. but im not having album art. ask the community and someone answered me that album art is not supported on ogg files. so i erased the ogg files on my device and put mp3 insted so i got the album arts.
thats where the problem strts... all the ogg files i deleted still showing on my device.

Note that if the music has already been indexed by the N900's tracker, you probably need to move the directory to somewhere that tracker does not index (I believe the "tmp" directory should work), then move it back. You may also need to erase the tracker database before moving it back (type "tracker-process -r" from the terminal).

PS. My apologies if this has already been posted and/or documented -- I keep seeing posts saying to embed the art inside the MP3s, and it's driving me nuts!

adding albumart on mp3's is easy using mp3tag.
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html
it embed the album art on the file itself. This is what i used to organize my mp3 files....
I think what we need is an album art for the ogg files...

At least with MP3s, once I moved them to somewhere tracker doesn't index, they disappeared from the media player's lists.
