    Cantata setup issue - music database won't populate

    I am having trouble getting Cantata to recognize my music collection. I want to use this music program because of its vaunted versatility, etc. Would you all mind helping me out?

    I followed the instructions for setup here: https://www.maketecheasier.com/canta...yer-for-linux/

    My settings are as follows:

Name:	musicissue.jpg
Views:	1
Size:	72.0 KB
ID:	649244

    Also, in the file ~/Home/.config/cantata/cantata.conf the directory for my library is listed as:
    [Connection-Default]
    asciiOnly=false
    coverName=
    dir=/media/classl3ss/Tertiary/Music/
    host=localhost
    ignoreThe=false
    passwd=
    port=6600
    replaceSpaces=false
    replayGain=off
    scheme=%albumartist%/%album%/%track% %title%
    streamUrl=
    transcoderCodec=
    transcoderValue=0
    transcoderWhenDifferent=false
    vfatSafe=true

    After all this the library in cantata still does not populate. Any suggestions? Please let me know if I need to include any further information.

    Thanks in advance for y'all's help!

    see hear https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...hlight=cantata

    basically if you just want it to play your music reset it as a "single user" setup ,,,and not the "default"(where it will stream to your devices) and it works well for that ,,,,
