Interesting, I had exactly the same problem, and it appears for the same reason.

I am a new user, just installed. The initial library import worked, but I was not able to add/scan anything in my library folder. I found this post, and moved the virtual CD folder (which I had not touched, since I didn't know what it was yet) to a different folder and suddenly add/scan worked.

Did a default install.

if so, the virtual cd folder needs to be separate from your main library folders, as mm manages the virtual cd files differently/separately than regular library files.

No, but apparently my cat must have.
That did the trick!!! Thanks much for the speedy response!

Hi All,
I've been using MM Gold for years now with no problems, and all of a sudden today neither the "file monitor" or the "add/rescan tracks to the library" will work.
It just flashes for a half second, then does nothing.

- The database appears to be fine, as it shows all my tracks, allows me to update the tags, plays all my playlists, etc.

- I compacted the database just to be sure, but that didn't help.

- If I use the My Computer node in the MM Music Explorer Tree, Add/Rescan works and I can see and play the new songs, but I just can't add them to the library.

- I used Windows Explorer to sort based on the tag info and did find 3 MP3's with some slight corruption in the first frame, which MP3Trim readily fixed, but still no luck importing.

- I triple checked the File Monitor settings, and even removed and readded my music folder to it just to be sure. I made sure both MP3 and APE are checked (the only two formats I have).

- I downloaded the latest version of MM Gold this evening hoping that might fix the problem, but it didn't.

- Ran multiple spyware checkers and a virus scan too.

My library is a reasonable size - around 8,400 songs, and I have 160 gigs of available space on my hard drive, which is defragged monthly.

Any suggestions as to what I might try next to get MM to once again scan my folder for new music?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Bill
