MusicBee will mark all tracks in the library as "Missing" but clicking locate locates them instantly and they play without issue (ie, no corruption/files haven't been moved). It's also reporting my library at half the size it truly is (about 350,000 tracks vs about 850,000 tracks). Any ideas?

Hi, welcome to the forum!

Where are your files stored?

[collector]

They're stored on a Drivepool disk (which is a clump of several disks) but MusicBee and Windows see it as one hard drive.

[Steven]

does it mark them as missing or as not accessible?

[collector]

Missing. After a reinstall it recognizes the files as being present without issue but the issue above is still there.

[Steven]

you reported 3 issues. If its the memory failure you will probably need to consider splitting your library so its not so huge.
If its the missing files, i dont have any suggestions.
And when you say Rescan that means something different to what I think you are doing - perhaps you are pressing the Insert key or File/ Add Files to Library?

[collector]

Correct, pressing the insert key. Scanning for new files. I'd really prefer not to split my library, is there no way to increase the memory usage of MusicBee? I have 64GB to play with and never see MusicBee using more than a GB.

[frankz]

Can't you put new files in a "Holding" folder, scan that folder for new files, and then sweep them to your massive library folder when you add them to the library rather than scanning the massive library each time?

As it seems the download referred to in the "1a" option is no longer available, you would need to go with the "1b" option instead if you wanted to try the solution.

Step iii seems to be outdated:

iii) Click the "Individual components" tab and select "C++/CLI support" and "VC++ 2017 v141 toolset (x86,x64)" and finish the install

VC++ 2017 v141 toolset is not on the components list and C++/CLI Support is split into multiple packages with different versions. I've downloaded v141 of C++/CLI support. Does this sound like the right idea?

[Steven]

I have uploaded editbin and the associated required files
https://www.mediafire.com/file/9h6dxa3wcg84tdh/EditBin.zip/file

you need to run:
editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE MusicBee.exe

Am I doing something wrong here?

[Steven]

run editbin as an admistrator or copy musicbee.exe to somewhere you have write access first

[sveakul]

Steven:  tried performing this operation using your posted package with all files therein copied to an empty directory along with MusicBee.exe.  Received the error message below.  Using Windows 10 v1909 64-bit, MusicBee 3.3.7410-P.  Visual C++ 2015 redist x64 is installed on the PC.

[Steven]

it looks like you need the visual studio redistributable package installed
