I've got a drive (well, a separate partition actually) that has my music on it, and in theory I should just be able to hit play in Rhythmbox and it'll work. But for some reason, I need to personally go into the drive and just open the drive before rhythmbox will actually realise the files are still there.

A partial solution seemed to have been to put the following command into the startup applications list:

--mount /dev/sdb4

But that only worked when I logged in and out to test it. It doesn't actually work when booting up.

EDIT: I've just noticed that the drive is no longer being listed by Ubuntu automatically. I can see it if I look for it under drives, but its not automatically coming up.

You need to put an entry into /etc/fstab

Im not at my pc else i would tell you the line !

Look at that file, add a new line the same as the line mounting your / partition. Edit the new line to point to your own music partition.

Google fstab, its quite easy to set up and well documented all over the net.

Worked out an alternate way to do what I wanted: just change the default directory for Rhythmbox to search for music. Can't believe I didn't think of this already. Gah!
