Reported size of library frozen and inaccurate

(1/2) > >>

prof.trance:
I have a library of 51806 audio files and 429 PDF's. The bar at the bottom of my MC window reports the correct number of files and updates accordingly whenever I add media (days to play also updates with each new import), but the reported size of the library has stopped updating. It has stayed at 1.8TB for quite a while now. The library folder where my audio files reside is now at 2.1TB. I am of course wondering why that is. I'm running v.22.0.88 in OSX 10.8.5 on a mid-2010 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM. My files are stored on a Synology NAS and all else is working very well. I believe this issue has been occurring throughout previous MC updates.

That's very strange.  Are you sure that the number of files updates, but the size does not?

What view are you using?  Screen shot?

prof.trance:
I have watched the number of files update nicely after any import, but not the library size for quite a while now. I'm using Standard View. Here's a shot of the library folder (Music) and its size in Finder vs. the reported size at the bottom of the MC window.

blgentry:
It looks like a lot of your files on disk have not been imported.  Finder reports about 59k files, while MC only reports a bit under 52k .  I would guess that's probably the source of the discrepancy.

prof.trance:
Those other files are various non-audio, non-PDF files, cover art, etc. files that litter my music library and that MC does not import - not non-imported audio files. Again, my reported library size has not gone up in months, all the while the other 2 reported stats (ie. number of files and total play time) go up every time I import new audio. I appreciate the time you are taking to give this anomaly some thought.
