Monitored folders don't automatically import music

I've heard nothing but good things about this music player, but do I really have to manually add ALL of my music to this thing, even though it gives me  an option for it to monitor folders?

works just fine. add a single parent folder - if that is your structure - or any other folders and all will be added / updated automatically.

you might want to check your settings. right click on the folder your are monitoring in the media library preferences and make sure you have it set to watch for changers while running.

EDIT: And if you are still using a non supported outdated panels UI, then i guess your 2.5 year struggle with library configuration may continue.

I do, and it still does absolutely nothing. My library just ends up empty.

Which library viewer are you using that remains empty?

Check your files/folders attributes because they´ll not be added to Media Library if hidden.

Are you sure you are not talking about your playlist (not the library) being empty? Because yes, you have to add files to a playlist, just like any other audio player.

If that seems too much to ask, perhaps you'd prefer boomaudio? Same developer, but a simpler player.
