Hi, i cannot access the mp3 files i have.
I have tried ftp and samba, but the files does not show up in spotify.
The files shows up if i browse the network.
How do i solve the problem?

Your post is a bit light on details. I gather you're trying to import files saved on the Bubba into Spotify. So, question 1, what version of Spotify are you talking about?

I meant what platform are you running Spotify on. Also, how is your Samba share mounted.

I have successfully imported local files from my B3 over a Samba share mounted with gvfs using Spotify on Ubuntu.

kubuntu 11.10
I have set the path in spotifys preferences as:
smb://b3/storage/music/mp3/

Let me tell you what works for me, then you can replicate it and see if it works for you.

Mount the samba share using gvfs-mount. The share will the show up in ~/.gvfs as something like For ease, I've then created a symlink to that share in the root of my home directory. Something like I've then simply added that symlink to the folders to watch in Spotify. I suspect your problem is that Spotify doesn't recognise the smb:// protocol.

gvfs-mount: There is nothing like that on my b3. An "apt-get install gvfs-mount" yields an error.
Furthermore; this is the only thread on excito with that term.

What dark wizardry is this, explain yourself dear Sir!
