I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and Banshee 1.7.3 from PPA. The problem with this release (and all past releases) on my machine is that the Music Library does not get updated when I add files to my music folder. The folder in question is not on the root or home partition but on a separate fat32 partition. I don't think that should be a problem for the player but it doesn't update the Library. Not even upon restarting. I have to manually add the files which is very frustrating. If some one could help with this it would be much appreciated.

Was your version of banshee built with gio-sharp support?
Comment 2 Saad Bin Javed 2010-08-14 19:01:12 UTC 
How can I check that? There is no mention of gio-sharp in "Version Information" under Help in Banshee.
Comment 3 Götz Waschk 2010-08-14 19:04:35 UTC 
Then it is not enabled. AFAIK library watching doesn't work without it.
Comment 4 Saad Bin Javed 2010-08-14 19:08:39 UTC 
Thank you. I'll see if I can file a bug with Ubuntu.
Comment 5 Bertrand Lorentz 2010-08-16 13:36:42 UTC 
I don't think gio-sharp is needed for library watching. Mono >= 2.4.3 is required, but that's already in Ubuntu 10.04.

Please check the following things :
- In the preferences dialog, in the "Extensions" tab, is the "Library Watcher" (in the Utilities section) extension checked ?
- Does your music folder configured in the "Source Specific" tab match the one where you're adding files ?
Comment 6 Saad Bin Javed 2010-08-17 04:42:23 UTC 
Library Watcher extension is enabled and source is set to the folder where i'm adding files.
Comment 7 Saad Bin Javed 2010-09-23 11:51:03 UTC 
After a recent system update, the problem seems resolved. Songs added in the source folder show up in Banshee.
Comment 8 Alexander Kojevnikov 2010-09-23 15:39:41 UTC 
Closing as FIXED then.
