Importing Files to Media Center

(1/1)

Skeezix:
I don't import files very often, but whenever I do I always have this problem:

After I click Tools > Import > Import a single folder >Next, I browse to the folder that contains the files I want to import, click Audio, and finally click Finish.

Every time MC's Import Summary reads "Imported 0 new files."

And if I then search in MC's Name field I cannot find the files I want to import.

What am I doing wrong?

JimH:
They've probably been imported.

Select Audio in the tree, then search for them by name.

It's also possible you deleted them once.  The import has an option for this.

Skeezix:
Not sure what you mean by "Select Audio in tree", but I did select Audio in the leftmost pane of MC.

I just noticed a "Search" box at the upper right corner of MC and when I click inside that box and choose "Imported this week", the file that I previously imported is listed.

Unfortunately when I go back and look in MC's main window, the file is not listed (I have sorted the files by Name). And the file is still in the folder that I imported.

What to do next?

JimH:
Find the file in Explorer, if necessary.  Tag it.  The tags are probably missing or incorrect.

Skeezix:
I am downloading files into "D:\MP3 Files\1Agent Downloads" and trying to import them from that folder. Is there something in this version of MC that precludes downloading from a folder that doesn't start with a letter from A to Z?
