Mutiple Formats In Same Folder
RoderickGI:
Under the left Navigation Tree, go to "Drives & Devices > Explorer" then with the Mode drop-down list at the top set to "All files" drill down to the folder you are talking about.
Both the FLAC and MP3 files should be displayed.
Now change the Mode to "Only file in library". Do the MP3 files disappear from the View?
If they disappear they have not been imported.
If they do not disappear they have been imported, and they just aren't showing in the View you were using in the discussion above.
How would you like to proceed? Fix the View you were using, or import the files?

Attached is screen shot with drill-down showing both FLAC and MP3. However, do not see mode where I can change to "Only file in library"?

And, note, since they are tagged with Artist = Melody Gardot, then that's where they'll show up in your Library, not under Van Halen.
If that is incorrect, you can fix it right there in that View.

Good thing it wasn't right in front of my eyes!
Reminds me of the old joke... How do you hide an elephant in a cherry tree? Give him red polka dot sneakers! ;D
Both FLAC and MP3 files loaded now after fixing the "Melody..." oops. Probably would never have found the error without your method of auditing the files and fixing right there. Not sure how the mis-tag occurred. Appreciate the new tool for my toolbox.
My sincere thanks for the tutelage.
Be safe, stay well!
glynor:
Yup. That same tool is also useful for importing file types that MC would otherwise ignore (those types not available in the Import wizard). Select them, and click Import into Library, and MC will import them no matter what they are.
You can, of course, modify the Import Wizard's file types list, but often for one-offs, it is simpler to just do it there.
Glad you got it sorted!
