Hi,
Yesterday night I was listening to MC.11 and suddenly realized that the track that was playing did not have a tittle (name). I was surprised since I have all my songs tagged but did not give more importance to that and went to correct it. I was even more surprised since the song had lyrics which meant that, when the lyrics were added, the song had indeed a tittle otherwise Kings' plug-in had not found them.
I opened "Playing Now" to edit the song and realized that almost half of the files there had the name in blank. That was even more strange.
Went to the main library and found out that somehow a large number of files had the name in blank. Probably a 15-20% of the files had the problem (There are 192.000+ songs in the library). Only the "name" field was blank... all the other fields of the file seemed to be OK. Not all the files were in the same HD nor I coud at first sight find a common pattern on them.
I restored my latest backup (I try to backup every day) and everything was fine again... not a big deal. I probably have only lost some "last played" info and some of the lyrics added with Kings' plug-in during the day.
I don't recall having done any special thing other than creating a smartlist to show the files with no cover art (obviously not related to the problem) and playing the music as usual.
Probably the library got somehow corrupt. Don't know if a library corruption could cause just wipping out the tittle of some songs, though.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know what happened "just for the record", in case this happens again to anybody.
I would also like to recommend everyone to BACKUP your library as often as possible. This has saved me a lot of trouble in this issue.
Thanks for your time.
