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. bigfool1956;311658 Wrote: > On the other hand I could not see this track on the machine where the > tracks are missing (an old lappy) even if I tried to navigate there > through the music folder. i'm not sure if u mean thru SC or thru the OS? bigfool1956;311658 Wrote: > I renamed the file to exclude the character, rescanned on both machines, > and now it appears in both!

Both use Avast antivirus. i love avast. but something must be different between the two installs to produce these different outcomes. a version, a setting, something... bigfool1956;311658 Wrote: > If I can't work out why this is, I guess I'm going to have to go through > all 8,000 tracks I have with explorer trying to find and rename the 200 > odd tracks that I am missing. Bummer! awful. however, with winamp, you can do very quick searches for things like a ? mark. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.1beta - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48195 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
