Hi, This could also be a bug in tracker, because gnome-music just queries tracker for a list of music files instead of looking them up directly. Tracker seems to break occasionally, for example it forgot about some music files that I've added shortly before shutting down my computer.
You can use the "tracker-control" command line tool to completely drop the current tracker database and start a new scan through all of your files. I'm not sure what kind of data tracker stores, maybe some of it is important to you, so please do some research / create a backup (tracker-control --backup=FILE) first. This stops tracker and removes everything but the journal(?) and backup(?): tracker-control -e This stops tracker and removes *everything* tracker has stored, you could try this if -e does not work: tracker-control -r Then you need to restart tracker: tracker-control -s A few seconds after restarting tracker, gnome-music listed all of my music albums. This may depend on the size of your file system, I tested this in a VM with a very basic gnome setup, so maybe it takes much longer in your case. I've also seen reports of tracker not doing anything for various reasons (for example, when a laptop is running on battery, tracker just idles AFAIK). Check the tracker worker status if there are issues (tracker-control -S and -i).
