By the way, did I just screwed up the library by randomly clicking on a track? Thanks for your help.

Well, it depends on if it was the same track that MusicBee was trying to locate.  If it was a different track, you may have to figure out what it is and retag it so it's correct.

Based on what you said, it sounds like MusicBee just needs you to tell it where those files are.  But have you installed bass_aac.dll?  If not, follow the instructions here: http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_play_AAC_files_in_MusicBee.3F

I had some time today. So, i deleted the Musicbee folder and had Musicbee rescanned for new files in my music folder, and it again showed two album, one is "All albums" with 5506 track. The other is "Empty" seven tracks. It is this "Empty" album that I want to resolve. These seven tracks are showing files that, as far as I can tell, do exist. For example:

Here is the track on my computer:  02 - Requiem Mass, for soloists, chorus & orchestra (Manzoni Requiem); No. 2. Dies irae. Part 1. Dies irae - Part 2. Tuba mirum - Part 3. Mors stupebit - Part 4. Liber sc.m4a

Here is MusicBee's path to this track: 02 - Requiem Mass, for soloists, chorus & orchestra (Manzoni Requiem); No. 2. Dies irae. Part 1. Dies irae - Part 2. Tuba mirum - Part 3. Mors stupebit - Part 4. Liber sc.m4a

What is going on? I would like to correct this, and have MusicBee as my audio player.

Below is a screenshot:

Thanks so much for your help.

I wonder if it's a problem with length of the file path?

Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

In MusicBee, I took a screenshot of this folder (see link below), and it showed only three of the four tracks. Using Windows Explorer, I navigated to this folder, found that missing track and opened it with FooBar2000 and VLC Player. Both players can play that track. How can I fix this in MusicBee? Thanks.
