The program should then think that it is just a folder on your home directory but any alterations to that folder really take place on your other hard drive. That would create a softlink from your other drive’s folder to your music directory on your home folder. ln -s /mnt/storage/mymp3s/ ~/music/mymp3s
If you find a program that you need access to another drive with that you can’t access inside the program you can just put a softlink to your home directory.įor instance if you have your other drive mounted as say /mnt/storage and you had a folder that is called mymp3s on that drive that you wanted to access as if it was on your home directory you could soft link that folder either directly into your home folder or into your music folder in your home drive. That’s why I suspect either a filesystem issue or a hardware issue in your case.
And I’ve been playing music for whole afternoons on end without any problems. My music is also on a separate partition (but on the same SSD), albeit that this is not a Windows partition ─ I don’t do Windows. I’m running KDE Plasma as my desktop environment, and I use JuK as my music player. That said, I can’t help you with a GNOME-specific music player.
What’s more likely is that there is filesystem corruption on the filesystem containing your music ─ which I’m guessing will be a Windows filesystem, and in that case, I can only advise you to disable Windows Fast Boot, because it doesn’t properly shut down your filesystems, causing the Linux kernel to interpret those filesystems as being “possibly damaged”.Īnother possibility, if it is a physically different drive, is that there might be a data transfer issue, and/or that the drive with your music is on its way south. It works with a uniform directory hierarchy. In a UNIX-like operating system, it doesn’t matter what drive the files are on, because UNIX doesn’t work with drives. So, I’m looking for a stable gnome music player that will be able to access from another drive
