One other thing, the jpeg is what my tower looks like but none of the ask1535 songs show up on the laptop by search function by artist,song or disc id. yet they show up on the tower under any of the search functions, depending if i have any or all of the boxes checked.
if any other info needed please advise. if i can delete and report on the external i will head out and get that done because of the size of the file it takes a while to get it done. thanks
