I *think* I may have got my library uncorrupted, despite the freeze up on that last optimize that I did. I restarted my PC and now the library is populated and so are my playlists. But it only all seems to work if I make sure to run MediaMonkey as Administrator. I feel like this shouldn't be necessa...

.... aaaaand I just worked out why I start humming Dire Straits Brothers in Arms to myself every time I check back in this thread for a reply.

Thanks for your persistence Lowlander - I am trying a complete optimise right now. It isn't looking good though. I know its easy to be impatient while waiting for longer database operations but it really seems like it might have hung. I'll give it longer just in case.

http://i.imgur.com/qsUNt.jpg I think we are having a communication problem, I am not explaining myself properly. I KNOW how to use media monkey. I know how to add/rescan files. What I was trying to explain was that I was browsing through media monkey to make sure the files were visible from inside m...

Having the phone unconnected didn't make any difference at all, I still wasn't able to get MM to close. I submitted a bug report but spent a bit of time after with debug view trying to see what was happening. I tried running media monkey as administrator and I think it made the log different in debu...

I did have my phone on charge and have disconnected it. I haven't been using it as a media device but I bet it was detecting as one.

Thanks, I will try this now. The part I think I will have trouble with is the part where I have to close mediamonkey - I am going to have to restart because it just won't close.

Hi Lowlander glad to catch you online at the same time as me. There ARE files in that folder, as well as folders in that folder. None of them are showing. The Library is apparently empty.

So selecting the Entire Library > Location node in the Media Tree will show 0 files? (Enable under File > Manage Collections) Yes that is exactly what I mean by empty library. 0 Files but you can see it remembers some of the tag information from albums that SHOULD be in there. http://i.imgur.com/s0...

I finally got a clean close of MediaMonkey and still the library is empty. I let it rescan and then let it close but even though the library gets populated, when I reopen MediaMonkey the library is empty again. The Now Playing window does have the last song that was played listed in it although it i...

I have been using UNC not mapped drives, I think I remember having trouble with mapped drives in the past so I avoided it when I set up my NAS. I've restarted my PC and the library is blank again. So I've also turned off folder scanning as you suggested. I can see the task in the status bar saying &...

I've had this problem since upgrading from version 3.x (whatever I had before). I now have 4.0.6. (MediaMonkey Gold for life!) :) Anyway specifically what happens is when I click on any of the Library/Collections or on my old playlists, they appear to be empty. The first time this happened I just ab...
