Where are my missing files?

You must not use the /tmp folder for personal use. It is a special folder where programs can store their _temporary_ files. It is emptied out on every restart of the computer. To keep your files persistent, store them somewhere inside your personal home older. It is /home/your_username/. You can create new subfolders there as you prefer.

Hi Thomas

The preferences will not allow me to choose my own folder! I select Home>music but it doesnt select. It remains at default.
Is there a way to override this? Maybe deleting and re-installing the software?

Regards

Hi Thomas

This is what preferences offers. When I select a specific folder it
resorts to this as default.

Any suggestions?

You can reset the database setting by opening the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and running this command:

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/rhythmbox/rhythmdb

Make sure rhytmbox is not running!

Hi Thomas
I tried that as per screen shot. (Please bear in mind i'm new to Ubuntu
and Terinal).

Nothing has changed.

Have I done it right? Do i need to do anything else?

I can't see anything online about 'amazon autorip'

Do you have any links to the service online?

Thanks

It's a new option to download MP3 files of any CD purchased online.
I purchased a CD and downloaded the MP3 files (linux only supports 1
download at a time).

They were playable but later disappeared and showed up as missing files.

Also, I can't change the preferences to download to a specific folder.
I've deleted and re-installed Rhythbox twice now, with no luck.

Thanks for all the help but I've managed to fix it with another re-install.

Thank you, Thomas.

Why didn't I think of That?

Everything is working now but I did re-instal a couple of times.

Many thanks to you and the support team for the help and advice.

I won't be getting a mac just yet:))
