Folks;
My problem is a bit different than others related to missing tracks that refuse to be found. (At least I think so, therefore a new topic.)
I had some trouble with my USER data partition that contains my music collection. I recovered all my tracks in my MediaMonkey library, right where they belong, but I had some NTFS file permission problems that affected MediaMonkey (and Firefox). In the process, most of my library tracks "went missing" in MM.
I have fixed the NTFS permission problems, but when I try to locate my missing tracks, MediaMonkey can't find them, even though there are right where they always were (and auto-organized, for the most part). MM shows a question mark for the drive letter, or it shows some [artist - album] weirdness. It's always the same artist and album. In the old days I would modify the database directly using Access, but no longer. I'm using MM 3.0.7.1191.
I can "add" my missing tracks to the library, but that leaves me with duplicates and it omits some track information that I manually entered into the library.
Does anyone have any advice for how I can "force" MediaMonkey to find my missing tracks on drive D: without adding them as new? Thank you so much.
