What device/OS/theme do you run?
Did you install anything through redpill?
How do you start xmms?


First, hidden directories (ones which begin with a dot) are not shown (either comes from the widget or I can patch that, I'll look at this). As the usual music on devices go to MyDocs/.sounds , you won't see the directory .sounds on the left pane, but you can enter MyDocs and scan this one.

Scan:
It's directly from xmms, not from the big white (awfull) window.
You need to open the playlist window. Bottom left, there is "ADD". Press it and while pressing move up to dir. Then choose your directory to scan


These almond skins are really beautiful.

Actually, I've said complete stupid things again I've edited the changelog which was completly wrong and upper keys does work with ALSA (only fast forward/rewind don't due to strange time error)
Free: Thanks for the quick response, even though I'm still having difficulty.

1. I've removed the .xmms directory from /home/user (and I am conversant with directories beginning with a dot).

2. In trying to install xmms I've never (yet) had to resort to the Red Pill mode.

3. My device is N800 and my theme -- who knows? It's the standard.

4. I start xmms through the Extras menu.

5. Now comes the tricky parts (for me). "Open the playlist window." Isn't that the one I'm in, with the white screens? There is no "ADD" on the bottom left, but there is one on the bottom right. And from here I'm not able to find a directory to scan. In my case, all my music is on two mmc's not on any .sounds file in MyDocs! And I can't seem to get into the media (or any other) directory. In short, how can I enter ANY directory to effect a scan. (Also I notice that no keyboard comes up if and when I might want to type in a file name, or anything else for that matter.)

Call me bewildered.
