Created attachment 371594 [details] emerge-info.txt gnome-music-3.10.3 does almost nothing. It has a little 'x' in the top right corner which is the only working function. Also a representation of a music note appears along with the message "No Music Found! Put some files into the folder None"
Can we get a screenshot of that? Output on the command line when launched from there?

Do you have some music in your ~/Music folder?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #3) > Do you have some music in your ~/Music folder? Well I had another music dir and linked it to Music with the same result. That did not work so I moved the music dir to Music. Still no workee. Thanks,

(In reply to imese from comment #5) > Created attachment 371696 [details] > screenshot > > What happens now after putting the Music dir under Desktop dir. I have some buttons that do minimal things but show no 'Albums', 'Artists', or 'Songs'. The search offers a text box where I can enter text and then nothing happens. The 'check mark' offers 'Click on items to select them'. But there are no items. Thanks as always,
What is the output of "emerge -pv grilo grilo-plugins tracker" ? I suspect that you need to have grilo-plugins built with USE=tracker, and that tracker needs to have indexed the music on your hard drive before gnome-music can see it.

I also do not see anything in gnome-music, probably due to missing plug-in configuration: $ eix grilo-plugin [U] media-plugins/grilo-plugins Available versions: (0.1) 0.1.20^t (0.2) 0.2.9 (~)0.2.10 {daap +dvd flickr freebox gnome-online-accounts pocket tracker upnp-av +vimeo +youtube} Installed versions: 0.2.9(0.2)(11:04:10 PM 12/24/2013)(dvd upnp-av vimeo youtube -daap -flickr -gnome-online-accounts -tracker) Homepage: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Grilo Description:

Ok. You are exactly right. Should the ebuild take care of these things that gnome-music needs to operate properly? Offhand comments: Perhaps this should have been bug report about grilo. Perhaps gnome 3 should have a butt load better documentation. Am I the only one trying to use gnome-music to run into this problem or is there some other obscure configuration thing I am missing? In any case thanks to all the help.
