Your post is a bit light on details. I gather you're trying to import files saved on the Bubba into Spotify. So, question 1, what version of Spotify are you talking about?

I meant what platform are you running Spotify on. Also, how is your Samba share mounted.

I have successfully imported local files from my B3 over a Samba share mounted with gvfs using Spotify on Ubuntu.

kubuntu 11.10
I have set the path in spotifys preferences as:
smb://b3/storage/music/mp3/

Let me tell you what works for me, then you can replicate it and see if it works for you.

Mount the samba share using gvfs-mount. The share will the show up in ~/.gvfs as something like

Code: Select all

Storage\ on\ b3
For ease, I've then created a symlink to that share in the root of my home directory. Something like

Code: Select all

ln -s /home/darren/.gvfs/Storage\ on\ b3 /home/darren/B3Storage
I've then simply added that symlink to the folders to watch in Spotify. I suspect your problem is that Spotify doesn't recognise the smb:// protocol.

gvfs-mount: There is nothing like that on my b3. An "apt-get install gvfs-mount" yields an error.
Furthermore; this is the only thread on excito with that term.

What dark wizardry is this, explain yourself dear Sir! :)

Code: Select all

apt-get install gvfs-fuse
