Possibility to choose a music folders instead of scanning the whole system.

[MinuteNewt]

Hello, I'm running Tauon 7.7.0, the Flatpak version on Linux Mint.

I would like to have the possibility to exclude folders, because at the moment, Tauon seems to scan my whole system (Linux Mint 21.1.). I have a workflow where I convert my FLACS to MP3s so I can transfer the smaller files to my phone. For that end, I create a folder called "Converted files" and add that to my system's main Music folder. I don't want these folders to mix, because I only listen to FLACS on my computer.

I apologise if this feature has already been implemented, but if it exists, I couldn't find it.

To recap, I want the ability to choose one music folder, an exclude any others.

In this case, create a new playlist in Tauon then just drag and drop that folder from your file manager into Tauon. Don't use the "import music folder" option that's in the main menu. (Which is what I assume you were using)

Basically Tauon doesn't have a global "folders to scan" setting, rather each playlist remembers the folders that were added to it individually.

Tauon is not a library-based music player, that's why I love it so much :)

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was using the Universal search and every time I wanted to play songs by an artist instead of choosing a "X artist playlist" I selected "X artist", which had created dozens of playlists. The songs that I kept seeing were just left behind from old playlists. Now I understand that you're supposed to work with playlists. I had a different understanding of how playlists work. Feel free to close this issue.
