Hi, welcome to the forum!

Can you give an example of a file that didn't transfer? What did you do to get into MusicBee?

Did you scan the folder where these files are located to import them? Musicbee doesn't know where your music files are unless you tell it.

You should read this before continuing.

For the titles not showing up, open the tag editor to see if there is a title tag. If not, you will have to add it.

To find error messages that you dismissed, you can look at the error log in Help > Support.

Check that the file paths in the playlist match the file paths of the current location of the tracks. If they don't match you may be able to use the Relink Music File Paths command to fix it.
