Awesome! Thanks for your help.

This is fixed in 1909

I still have not found anything that was Hidden.

After trying to fix the ReadOnly issue, I figured I would see what the log said now. And it turns out the log doesn't say anything about the folder being Hidden now. But yet it still doesn't find the files. I did not see anything that stood out to why it doesn't find them.

I tried one other folder, [C:\Users\Chris\Music\Foo Fighters], that has both .mp3s and .m4as. It finds the .mp3s, but not the .m4as. When I look at the log for that folder, I see that it seems to process .mp3s differently than .m4a. Is that a clue?

Here is the log for your viewing pleasure: :-)

I tried everything I could find to fix the ReadOnly issue, but failed. Lots of people on the internet are complaining about it though.
[/quote] Having black box in Read-Only check box means that folder or its subfolders contain files that are set Read-Only. Please Note that Some System files are always set as Read-Only and thus you have black box in check mark which is completely normal.

Hi,
as pointed in https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16710 if You hide folder and then manually rescan it in MM then its content rescanned, If you set files also hidden them MM will respect that. There is no bug Files are really missing and hidden from system.

Only way I can see is that MM ignore system setting and check for physical file existence, which in case of other such settings like permission can slow Scanning at least 50%.

For you the solution would be to Apply hidden to Folder only not files and subfolders (eg. just like AppData is hidden in Users profile folder)

Anyway I have left it open for debate and see if something simple can be implemented.

But it is not hidden. Not sure what's going on there. Did you try with a ReadOnly file?

In any case, are you making a change to ignore the fact that it is hidden, so it will work in my case? If so, that's good enough.

I can confirm that on rescanning a file already in the Library that is now hidden that MediaMonkey will think that it's missing: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16710

Make sure that the not only the files aren't set to hidden, but also the folders containing the M4A files aren't set to hidden. Not sure why you can't change the Read-Only option.

I noticed this in the log:

00000396 58.49987030 [12280] AddToDatabaseRec: C:\Users\Chris\Music\Fitz & The Tantrums\More Than Just a Dream (Deluxe Version)\
00000397 58.50089645 [12280] AddToDatabaseRec: File or Directory is HIDDEN, do not scan it into library

But it is not hidden, although Windows says it is Read-Only, and it won't let me remove the checkbox. But it also says all of the folders in my Music folder are Read-Only. I have no idea why. But this doesn't happen to .mp3 files.

Sorry, I attached the wrong logs. That was for a different issue. I installed the latest debug version and tried it again. Issue still occurs. This time I played the song while I rescanned the folder.

Here are the correct logs:

Hi,
I am not able to replicate. Can you please try to install latest MMW version http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=54426&sd=d on top of existing?

The link below contains the log file and 2 screenshots. This time I was able to to see duplicate tracks even after inserting the first CD which never happened before. The first screenshot shows that, and the second screenshot shows after the second CD is inserted.

Then capture the rescanning in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69

Yes, they play.

Do the files in the Library (when opened from the Music Collection in MediaMonkey) play or fail to play? The Path seems to match the files on your PC.

I am able to play the files in MediaMonkey, so the location must be correct. This happens for any .m4a file.
