Question 1...
Three days ago, imported a 3 CD set of Clara Schumann Piano. Before importing, I checked the meta-data to make sure all the fields were correct. CD1 was labelled Volume 1, CD2, Volume 2, etc. Imported these into the library. When I went to Audio view, it showed me volumes 1 and 3, no trace of volume 2. Also, volume 3 only contained 5 tracks out of the 18
Why does JRiver do this?
Yet this morning when I looked again, all 3 albums are stored and catalogued correctly!
question 2...
Sometimes when I copy a ripped CD into the folder where other music is stored, it shows up in Audio view immediately, sometimes not. Then when I go back the next day, albums that appeared are no longer there and I have to import them again
Thanks

Sometimes auto-import takes a minute to find everything (or sometimes much longer than a minute). Were you using auto import or running a manual import?

Is your music folder a network location? MC relies on filesystem events to know if new files show up, and some NAS devices inconsistently send those notifications. So if you have the files on a NAS (or a filesystem that doesn't support filesystem notifications), auto-import won't always find things right away.
Likewise, if you have files on a network location, try disabling the "fix broken links" setting in the auto import options. If this setting is enabled, sometimes when MC can't reach a network drive it will remove the library entries for those files. Try disabling the setting entirely and see if things still disappear.
If all your files are local (on a drive in your computer), something else is going on and you might need to take different troubleshooting steps.

Yes, the files are on a (permanently attached) USB hdd which is labelled "Z" in Windows. I have noticed that tag changes take a few mins to complete
