tracker-processes -r and then power cycling does not make a difference.
Q: where should files be stored?
Q: how to tell it to go beat the bushes for more files for it's list?

It shouldn't matter on the micro sd card - the whole thing is set to be scanned by default (except for /media/mmc1/tmp and /media/mmc1/cities). In MyDocs, the .sounds (except .sounds/Ringtones), .documents, .videos and .images folders are scanned (and, incorrectly, the nonexistent .camera folder). You can edit the /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg file to add new entries to the WatchDirectoryRoots and NoWatchDirectory entries.

i dont thing where the songs are placed matter..i have all my songs in different folders placed outside the .audio and they work.

@skm- could you try going to the specific folder via file manager where your songs r placed and then play the song by pressing on..the first time i added my songs to d new folders i had to do this to make the folders to be scanned by the media player..hope it helps

HI there. I edited the tracker.cfg, but unfrtunately ALL music files still appear in the default media player.

My music is in:
/home/user/MyDocs/!downloads/Music/
and video in
/home/user/MyDocs/!downloads/Video/

I want only these two folders to appear in Media player song and video list.
How can I achieve that?

Here's my tracker.cfg
[Watches]
# List of directory roots to index and watch (separator=
#WatchDirectoryRoots=$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/;$HOME/MyDocs/.documents/;$HOME/MyDocs/.videos/;$HOME/MyDocs/.images/;$HOME/MyDocs/.camera/;
WatchDirectoryRoots=$HOME/MyDocs/!downloads/Music;$HOME/MyDocs/!downloads/Video;
# List of directory roots to index but NOT watch (separator=
CrawlDirectory=
# List of directory roots NOT to index and NOT to watch (separator=
NoWatchDirectory=$HOME/MyDocs/core-dumps/;$HOME/MyDocs/cities/;$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds/Ringtones/;$HOME/MyDocs/tmp/;/media/mmc1/tmp/;/media/mmc1/cities/;$HOME/MyDocs
# Set to false to completely disable any watching
EnableWatching=true

Thanks for looking.
