Questions / Files not appearing in library

« on: July 16, 2022, 06:28:27 PM »

Hello! It seems a few people have had this problem, but none of the solutions I've read in the forums have worked for me.

I have several series of a British radio comedy. Series 1, 2, 3 and 5 all scan and appear in my library, but series 4 doesn't. The files look the same, they're roughly the same size, and are obtained from the same source.

When I try to add the series 4 files individually, they appear. Excellent. But then, when I delete everything and rescan my files, series 4 doesn't show up again. The files play fine, by the way.

I presume the fault is with my files, rather than MusicBee. From my limited knowledge of mp3 files, I presume it's something to do with tags. If anyone could offer me any help or advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Questions / File name with a dot at the front

« on: April 08, 2020, 07:45:45 PM »

I've just started with Musicbee, and I love it. It's everything I wanted from a music manager / player.

I've got a lot of files, and I'm spending the quarantine period finally sorting them all out, standardising the way I display the file names, all that. But I notice, some (not all) of the albums have, before them in the list, the same tracks, but just the file name, and they always have a full stop at the front of the file name. I can delete them, but on a full rescan of my files they come back. Any ideas? I assume it's files with a broken tag of some sort, but how is there an easy way of getting rid of them?
