Playing music files on Raspberry Pi 3

[nakam]

I have got the omxplayer playing .mp3 files in the /home/pi folder but it will not play music files in the /home/pi/Music folder.
Can't see where I am going wrong.
Also how do you get it to play all the music files in a folder instead of just one.
Please make you answer simple with a step by step guide for 10 year old!!

Open a terminal and type these commands:

Code: Select all

cd ~/Music
ls -l *.mp3
omxplayer *.mp3

NOTE: the Tab key will help to complete your commands, parameters, directories and file names (for example type omx and Tab). This is a very useful help!.

find . -name *.mp3 > mylist.m3u

Please supply the failing command and any error messages, plus a listing (ls -l) of the Music directory. Use code tags to make them properly readable.

Be aware that omxplayer can only play one file at the time.
So

Code: Select all

omxplayer *.mp3

simply won't work.
Also omxplayer doesn't support .m3u files (again, due to the single file play).

In case you have a music file with spaces in the name, use e.g. double quotes.

Code: Select all

omxplayer "filename with spaces.mp3"

Posting the content of your /home/pi/Music folder can give more insight.
