Oh...I should ask alll the questions

1) Did you recently move your music files?
2) Are the permissions on the music files OK?
3) If your accessing your music through a linked directory does the link still exist?
4) Do you have access to your codecs which should be stored in either:


x86_64 based installation
---------------------------
     /usr/lib64/codecs

with softlinks to

      /usr/lib64/win32
      /usr/lib/codecs
     /usr/lib/win32


i386 based installation
---------------------------
     /usr/lib/codecs

with a softlink to

      /usr/lib/win32

Did something happen to the codecs directory?
Are the proper permissions set to to your codecs?


These are some of the questions I would ask?
