How did you make the mount point? And where do I find other
partitions, and does this work with Rhythmbox?
Please don't top post.
To make the mount point, it's just like making any other directory
(mkdir /media/music in my case). Finding the other partition isn't a
big deal. To find the correct Windows partition (as root) use fdisk -l
(that's a lowercase L) which will print out all partitions you have on
that system. This is what my netbook looks like:
caesar markh # fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x0ac10daa

/dev/sda3 25372672 399290403 186958866 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 399292416 488396799 44552192 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 399296512 400320511 512000 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 400322560 484290559 41984000 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 484292608 488396799 2052096 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Look for the NTFS partitions, in mine I have one hidden partition
(recovery partition), a boot partition (the one with the * in the BOOT
column) and then the primary Windows partition at /dev/sda3. (Again,
yours might be different.)
So, as root I 'mount /dev/sda3 /media/music' and open up Amarok. Now,
when I first set this up, I had to point Amarok to the right file
location since I mounted the Windows partition directly (which I use
for things other than music), but I don't see any reason why you just
couldn't symlink the Music directory in the Windows partition to the
Music directory in your home folder. (Then again, I don't know, it's
not something I've ever done.)
I did just confirm that RhythmBox works with my mounted partition, but
YMMV.
And, forgive the Fisher-Price version of the instructions. I'm not
certain of your level of Linux experience, so I was as detailed as I
could be. No insult intended.
