Thank you, Ron. The songs.db is back up.
Unfortunately problems persist:
1) Not serving songs: SB still outputs: “Unable to play “name of song”” and neither Banshee (full stop sign) nor Amarok (“No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url’s protocol is not supported. Network failures are other possible causes”) can play songs. Both sw players play flac natively, so it is not a transcoding issue only.
2) No database update – last month’s entries into Music Folder not reflected and accessible.

1) Do the needful — check that you have flac in your transcode codecs, and that you’ve added the full path to wavstreamer and the flac decoder binary in the transcode script. Run the script by hand to make sure it will output data, and cat that into a file and see if it is a valid wav file.
2) Check permissions. If it scanned the rest but not the new ones, it’s likely permissions.
