Albums not being added to the Library

Just talk about kJams stuff with each other, describe things you did that worked, talk about your setup, anything that doesn't fit into the other forums!

Albums not being added to the Library

Post by Karanight »

What's going on with my system, I'm rebuilding a library and when I add to library and choose the folder where all the karaoke tracks live, MOST of the albums are added. As a result I of this I have no idea which albums haven't been added so I trashed the kjams library and re-added all to library, and the same tracks (or at least those I know of) are not added. I've looked at the folder for the albums that aren't added and they look the same as those that have been added.
There's around 106,000 tracks in total but only about 96,000 being added

if you know what album is not being added, attempt to add it alone to an empty library.
if that produces the same result (ie: it is not added) then try adding one song from that library
if that does the same, send me that song and i'll have a look

i assume you're picking "reference" and not "copy" ?

I can add one of the un-added albums to either an empty library or one with everything else added

the point is i need you to reduce the problem to the smallest possible configuration.

there must be some set of folders with one or two song in it that, if you add the parent folder, at least one of the songs doesn't get added.

find that, and we have a "repro case" that i can test with, and you can send it to me!

I've just now add the whole parent folder and the particular album I've taken note of is there, all the tracks for THAT folder are there
The only way to know if there's any tracks missing is to count them!
I'm going through them and weeding out anything that look sus and whilst at it I'll add up the tracks in the parent folder and then add them back to kjams and see if the number of tracks are correct. If they are correct I'll trash it all again and re-add the whole lot again (all the tracks, not just the awkward parent folder) and see what happens. I'll report back 2moz
Hope that lot makes sense cas I've had a drink or two

There was a track. Out of 5079 tracks in 338 folders I found one track that refused to be added to library with all the others. I could add it on its own. I tried a few times and it would not be added with the others.
I've sent you an email with the track

okay and i tried to add it and it added fine. so really what i need is a folder with some other track such that, when i add the folder, the one file does not add. can you create such a folder?
