Greg,
Curious about this:
When I add a new CD, and before a rescan, I use "browse by folder".
It's been my experience that Browse By Folder is based on the scanned
library because it does not do a "read" of the file system when it's used,
but simply offers a different 'view' of the scanned libra
Much thanks ... this is not how I remember this working. I will explore it,

I don't recall this behavior ... rescans were required to listen to any
album. I'll be very happy if I've simply not paid close enough attention,
or didn't wait long enough, for

The test track does not appear in the New Music listing, but it does
appear in Genre - All Albums.
So glad I decided to post to this thread.

Thanks all,

about the album, neither in the grid view nor with a cursor-
I am guessing, but the sorting algorithm may use textual rather than

Perhaps 10.1, 10.2 (or 10.01 and 10.02) rather than 10a, 10b will give you
the results you want?
