Please check if the missing albums are listed under Artists - Various artists. Some of the Air tracks seem to be part of compilation albums. This could be another issue with compilations. For the missing Depeche Mode albums things seem to be a bit more complicated. Do any of the songs on the

After a rescan (unfortunately it is still going) it looks like it is second guessing the tags incorrectly. My directory structure is as follows: H:\web\mp3's\depeche mode\personal jesus cd single\track 01 and so on Where for some reason it is not picking up the tags it thinks the artist is

I found that playlists scanned in the Playlists folder affected the artist count and the display of artists. If you have playlists, try removing moving them to another unscanned folder, and try a full rescan. When I did that, the Music Library behaved properly and displayed and counted all the

You probably have both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in your files and one set has blank values in the artist and album frames. Remove the old ID3v1 tags from the files with a program like The Godfather or mp3Tag. There have been reports of tagging programs that failed to show ID3v1 tags even if they were

Thanks Ramage - have done that but I am not sure the clear is working I did a clear and rescan and my track count is going up from where it was before (43000) I am now up to 45000 dispite clearing playlists and selecting clear and rescan. This version seems to be misbehaving a bit at the moment

Track count seems to be off to a smaller or greater degree depending on the view you are currently in. I'm not sure this has anything to do with your or other related problems. I don't have any problems with missing or duplicate tracks but track, artist and album count seem to be odd sometimes. I

I concur with Ramage, disabling playlists and doing a clear and rescan is the only way I have found get things behaving. A rescan of new or changed miscounts artists and albums by 1 or 2 but is OK with the number of tracks. Having playlists active seems to add to the miscount of artists (almost
