I have a modest music collection but have it well organized as a series of FLAC files.  I am trying to use MusicBee as my default player. But, I have at least one album/artist that does not show up in a search or in the artist list on the MUSIC tab.

I have checked the tags and MusicBee is perfectly happy with them but it does not include Loreena McKennit in the list of artists, does not have the only album in the album or any of the songs in in the music list when I select "All Artists".

I just ran a rescan and did a send to file rescan.  Maybe I just do not get it.

Any help would be appreciated.  


Thanks in advance

First check the Inbox to see if the album is there and if so, select it > Send to > [copy or move to organized folder] making sure that 'add to library' is selected.

If it's not in the Inbox, use a file explorer and confirm that the album exists and note the path to it.

From the main menu bar > File > Scan Folders for New Files > Choose Folders and drill down to the folder than contains the album > make sure 'add to library' is selected > Proceed
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.
