Using Roku Soundbridge, Firefly (March 2006 Stable Build) on
HP MediaVault. Approx 16,000 tracks in library.

Has been working well since December ’06 but…

Went to play a song from an album, but the album doesn’t show up when I browse by artist or album. All other albums by the artist appear ok. Things I’ve checked:

– I can find the song using “find” and play it. The metadata for the artist is accurate. In this mode I don’t see album metadata so can’t check it.

– I point MusicMatch at the same fileset, and it’s library correctly displays the album under the artist. When I click on “show location on computer” it correctly navigates to the directory on the Media Vault.

– The directory for the album is arranged under the artist directory, same as the other correctly reported albums.

– The songs have the format song_name.mp3

– Windows Explorer correctly reports the metadata for the tracks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Norton

Do you have iTunes? That might be useful to see what the album metadata is.

It’s possible there is a problem with v1 versus v2 tags, or something of that nature. Whenever I see something like that, I strip the tags and re-apply them. Sometimes they were tagged with an old tag editor or something and it causes problems.

Almost always, though, stripping and re-applying tags works on something like that.
