Title: missing folders
Post by: mikoli on January 28, 2007, 08:01:18 am

Hi all,
I've just installed the trial version of JRiver Media Center 12.0.154.

Exemple: On my hard disk I have 6 AC/DC albums, that were imported using windows media player a long time ago. Everythng is tagged correctly. 
When I import my library into Media Center, in the menu "File-->Library-->Import Folder" (here I chose the partiton were my whole mp3 collection is), it just scanns ok, but
from my 6 AC/DC albums, only 1 is shown. I haven't checked now for other artists, but perhaps some albums were ignored too.
Can you give me some help, to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

The files probably got imported okay but with the / in AC/DC, it may not be where you are looking in MC. To find the songs, click on the Audio button and look to the right to make sure the top bar says Pane. If not, just click the down arrow and select Pane.

Make sure the details or files are displayed at the bottom. If not, you can have them displayed by dragging the splitter bar that has the 2 arrows on it up until you see the files. To ensure you see the details, right-click next to the Pane selection on the top bar and make sure Details is selected.

Now that everything should be displayed, find one of the albums that you think is missing and type part or all of the name in the Search box at the top right. Hopefully the album will be displayed in the details at the bottom. If so, now you can see why it may not have been displayed where you looked before by checking the tags. Just right-click a file(s) and right-click to select Tag or just press Alt+Enter.

Hope that helps.

hello,
thank you for the help,
I did everything you said, but the albums and songs still reamain invisible. I will try to "retag" one album to see what happens: ac/dc --> acdc

I just used the Auto-Importer for importing my seven AC/DC albums to a new test library. MC12 had no problems with importing and the files show correctly AC/DC as the artist.

Naturally the "/" character is only in the file tags, because it is not an allowed filename character in the Windows NTFS file system. I have my AC/DC disk files named like this:
X:\ACDC\Let There Be Rock\08 - Whole Lotta Rosie.mp3
