Have just done a complete reinstall of operting system to Vista Ultimate X64 and desided to buy MC12 after using MC10 for a couple of years, all installed correctly except every time i start MC12 i have no music in my library MC12 has to rescan the drive where i have all my mp3s (15,000 off them) am i being blind and stupid (not unusual) or is there a bug in MC12 / vista

thanks for any help

Try creating a library in a different location you know you have permissions to access in File > Library > Library Manager...

Try copying a few MP3s to the desktop and import them.  See if they stick around.

It could be file permissions, a network drive that doesn't auto-mount, or some other gremlin.

MC has been tested on Vista a lot, and should work well.

I have the same combo and it works very good over here.

Next to what Jim said I would also create a manual library backup after importing those files, then you don't have to import again and again, simply restore the library until the issue is fixed.

After MC12 is done importing, check this folder:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 12\Library

I asume you have installed Vista on C:. Also, replace "YourUserName" with your real user name of course.

I think it should contain something like 60 items and be about 4MB in size (give or take 1MB)?

Keep the folder open and close MC, watch those files and start MC again and see if it changes.
