Something very bizarre and troublesome is happening in my attempts to add files to my library. I am using Windows 8.1 and v19. My library is on an external NAS disk, which itself is a standard usb 3.0 Seagate drive attached to a Netgear router with a usb/nas port. Here's what happens. I will successfully import and tag files, and they show and play normally in MC. Then, when I go back to the recent files list in MC I see the yellow "file not found" icon is next to the tracks of those imports. When I look at the Windows directory in my library, where I had a file folder named "Shostakovich" with all the .wav files, there is now simply a file of 0 kb named "Shostakovich". The content .wav files are gone. The filetype in the Windows directory is simply "file." If I try and erase it, I am told I do not have permission. However, if I try and re-transfer the files from the other disk where the files first where created (either ripped vinyl files or downloaded) I am told that some or all already exist in the target library and/or it will create a folder in the library with one of the names of the .wav files.
This has happened several times exactly the same way, and the issue also occurred when I used a mac mini in boot camp using Windows 7 pro. Anyone who can steer me out of this mess will be my hero. My nightmare is that somehow MC is tagging/corrupting my whole library. Thanks. -- David
