Great, it should be fixed in next build and you should normally rescan without duplicates.

You can wait or use suggestions I wrote at:

1. Unmap Z:
2. Restore your old DB
3. Select all tracks from Z: (NOTE: In MM Entire library -> Location will not have Drive name now)
4. Use File -> Locate Missing/Moved option
5. Select "\\ds1019\" Folder with files -> OK (You can copy/paste location from Explorer)
6. It should find them and all should be OK now

Attach the log to a Support Ticket.

not yet, but can do. never done logging in MMW so give me a couple hours and I will attack a log file.
Should I put the log in a message, or send a zip file somewhere?

Hi,
Have you created any LOG files and attached to support ticket so that we can analyze?

OK this is going from bad to much much much worse.
I have a folder [M: | \\10.10.10.74\Media]\Music
I get stuff ready for importing into MMW in a folder on drive D:
I think import the music files using Tools -> Organize Files. When I do this I now have three (3) places where the same files are being displayed. To make matters worse, each area is showing a different subset of the total files. This is beyond confusing what is happening and what I should be doing to make this work right.

Followed the steps provided and have now moved all files to path: \\ds1019 per the recommended method.

Thanks for the assistance on this!

Re: Add/Recan files adding UNC Path to All Music Files

I have my music library on a Synology mapped as Z:. My library is then configured to scan Z:\Music. After upgrading to 2027 (currently 2027.0.0.3516), when the scan is set to either start-up or Scan Now is selected, the scan starts adding files using the UNC Path (\\ds1019) to the all files list. I have to select cancel and then remove from the DB.

This worked previously on 2024. Searched the forum and didn't really find anything related (unless I missed).

Appreciate any assistance on this!
I can't replicate steps you describe on my QNAP, but it is possible that it is an regression of feature described at https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5548

After you create LOG file here is what you can try:
1. Unmap Z:
2. Restore your old DB
3. Select all tracks from Z: (NOTE: In MM Entire library -> Location will not have Drive name now)
4. Use File -> Locate Missing/Moved option
5. Select "\\ds1019\" Folder with files -> OK (You can copy/paste location from Explorer)
6. It should find them and all should be OK now

HINT: Mapped Drive letters are known to fail while making tracks unplayable so we recognize Mapped Drives and use original UNC Path source during rescan. I've added https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=22266 if I am right and your LOG file should confirm it.

I've not seen this.

Can you please capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: viewtopic.php?t=86643

All of my playlists already existed and all songs within point to Z:\Music!
