i would not be so quick to assume that just b/c it has MORE tracks, it
has ALL tracks.

i would double check the track count with winamp.  i have never noticed
winamp to be missing a track or file as long as it had the proper
extension, (eg. *.mp3)

you should also not assume that the one that has more tracks has all
the tracks the other one has.  that would be a horrorshow for you if
so, but i feel that it simply isn't credible to just assume that SC
shows you all the files.  that isn't to say it doesn't, but i just
wouldn't assume it.

i'm not sure if u mean thru SC or thru the OS?

i love avast.  but something must be different between the two installs
to produce these different outcomes.  a version, a setting,
something...

awful.  however, with winamp, you can do very quick searches for things
like a ? mark.
