Thanks, MrSinatra.  I'm guessing there is some overlap with your bug
report 8764.  My problem is shown in the scan results in my original
post,

Total Tracks: 19,618
[...]
Music Scan Details
iTunes Import (27132 of 27132) Complete 01:13:15

So SC7 only shows 19,618 of the 27,132 tracks, although it does see
them well enough at least to count them when it imports from the iTunes
XML file.  Somehow it skips the others.  

It could well be to do with the MP3 headers, and I initially thought it
was due to funny international characters either in the file name, XML
Location tag or somewhere else.  This may still be the case, but I've
not found a simple rule that covers it.  Rescanning the library
completely takes 16 hours (as it sits on my QNAP TS-101), so I'm not
very keen on narrowing it down incrementally.  Sometimes entire albums
are missing, sometimes it's individual songs from an album.  In all
cases, everything was ripped in iTunes, and each album was ripped in
one go.  So it's not clear to me why some tracks would be treated
differently.

I wasn't actually using SC7 before -- I was using the previous version
running on a PC, and if there were tracks missing, I didn't notice it
then.

Any ideas for narrowing it down would be welcome.  Any pointers to
programs I can use to play with my MP3 tags -- likewise.

Soren
