Title: Cannot Add Files
Post by: zenpmd on January 16, 2013, 01:17:23 am: I have been running MC18 for a few months and love it. I had something like 1500 flacs added to it. Last night, I ripped about 30 cds, added them to the same folder on the computer, but no mattter what I do when I run import they don't show up. Any idea whats going on? It seems very weird.

Thanks

What happens if you drag and drop them onto MC?

Post by: zenpmd on January 16, 2013, 03:37:05 am: Thats right, I use dbripper, which I did for the existing tracks in the library. I haven't tried to drag and drop yet. This is just importing. I also deleted everything from the library and started again but it just added the ones I had been able to important sucessfully before and not the new ones.

My guess is that they were imported (perhaps before they were done ripping?) and detected as the wrong [Media Type].

No errors on the indepth summary - its just like it cannot see them - but they are flacs, which is the same format as the others already successfully imported.

I don't know if this can be done. The stock views limit to the main database, and to given media types, and adding the database modifier or additional query terms to Search only narrows the results. There's no way to expand the query, or override already set terms.

So you'd need a view that has no preexisting query terms; hence the playlist approach.

Database selectors are defined here:

That's what I suspected. Thanks.
