We are all sad to hear this has happened.

There are many posts in these Forums that clearly warn you need to make a backup copy of your Hoster KMA songs. This is the reason why.

I agree with Dale. A drive going flakey is the only way I can think of that files can disappear.

Merge Songs will not cause this problem.

Rebuilding your Database should correct any problems like this IF... the database becoming corrupted was the problem. If not, your Hard Drive (HDD) is failing.

IF your HDD is failing, DO NOT continue to use it. You can make it worse, and if you write anything to it, you can wipe out untold numbers of songs, especially if the drive index is going flakey. Make a backup copy of this drive, then run Check Disc and defrag it also.
