is your music on the device or SD card?

Tags: Which device?

This may be a useful starting point to debug: https://together.jolla.com/question/167715/tracker-not-tracking-properly/ TL;DR: run /usr/libexec/tracker-extract -v 3 and check the output for error messages.

Which device?

@ElderOrb: Try this:

1. Connect your XA2 to a computer. Copy all of your mp3 files to the computer (to have them in safe storage).
2. Delete the mp3 files in XA2.

3. On XA2, run:
   
   

   devel-su
   tracker reset -r
   
   

4. Restart XA2.
5. Connect XA2 to the computer again.
6. Copy the mp3 files from computer to XA2 (to /home/nemo/Music unless you have an SD card)
7. Wait a minute.
8. Open Media app.
   Is it better now?
