WAV files not appearing in library

Post by danhackley »

I'm running MM 3.2.0.1294 with Windows 7. I've not had any problem with tagging WAV files before. I recently ripped a CD in WAV using EAC. I can drag the files into the "now playing" window where I can add meta-tags no problem. However, when I go to import the files into the library, they do not seem to appear!

Any ideas? Thanks!

Are they in a folder set as Virtual CD or Previews or on drive A or B? Did you check if WAV is selected in the Add/Rescan Tracks dialog?

In addition to what Lowlander asked, is it possible that you have a filter active that could be hiding the files?

if you dragged them in to monkeys now playing list. then you did your edit on them in monkey.
they should already be in the library.
monkey should auto add them when he does any editing of them.

when you add / rescan the files to put them in the library they won't show up cause they are there.

but if you try and find new songs and don't have the option for the new playlist to be made for recently added songs
then you will have a hard time finding them.

thats all i can think of to add to your list of possible things hope you get it figured out soon. 8)

Thanks guys - it's as Lowlander said, I just had to tick the WAV box in the scan files dialog. I don't know why it was unticked, as I have scanned in WAV files before. Maybe it was to do with the last upgrade. Oh well, working now! :)

very possible it was the upgrade. i've had other options be turned off when i did upgrades of monkey in the past. i keep checking them now though just in case.
