I've stumbled into something really strange today. I had not noticed it before, but MediaMonkey is apparently censoring/forgetting/skipping a small number of albums in my (rather large) music library.
I can read the mp3s directly, but no amount of scanning recovers them. I get no errors. The same albums appear fine in iTunes. I've checked the filter settings, and they're not responsible for this.
I've tried taking a single mp3 out of its folder and copying it elsewhere to see what is causing this. Not the path, then.
I've tried renaming the mp3. Nope. MediaMonkey reports the import of a new file and the loss of the previous one, but it still doesn't appear anywhere.
I've tried changing the mp3's title tag and others. Nope.
I've tried using WavePad to resample at 256 kbps. Nope.
I'm baffled.
So far these albums (at least) are mysteriously absent: P.D.Q. Bach's "1712 Overture & Other Musical Assaults", "A Little Nightmare Music", "Addicted to P.D.Q. Bach", "An Evening With P.D.Q. Bach", "An Hysteric Return", "Black Forest Bluegrass", "The Intimate P.D.Q. Bach", "Music for an Awful Lot of Winds & Percussion", "Music You Can't Get Out Of Your Head", "P.D.Q. Bach On the Air", "Two Pianos Are Better Than One". Other albums in the same folder do appear. So far I haven't found any other artist to be missing albums.
Any clue? How about clues on how to get clues?
