I have been having problems since I moved from XP to Vista Ultimate
very recently with WMP11's library. My music collection is on an external
USB-connected drive (J
and was previously indexed just fine with WMP11 on
the XP machine. I plugged the drive into the new Vista box and put the drive
/ path in the "Add to library" dialogue but it could only find about 30 of my
albums - the other 200+ are missing.
I've followed and actioned all the suggestions around deleting the
CurrentDatabase_360 (took me a while to find out how to stop the network
sharing service so I could delete it but I found it in the end through Task
Manager) but everytime, it just finds the same album folders each time.
Checking their properties, I cannot see any difference between a folder /
file that is indexed and one that isn't (securities, permissions, etc.).
Also, if I open a track in WMP11 from one of the 'missing' albums to play
it, it adds the track to the library. Weird! Even weirder, if I add a
direct path to one of the missing album folders and "Add to library" again,
it still can't find the album.
Any idea? This is driving me nuts!
