Audio Files Missing in Search View

[Lonman]

Sounds like you probably just bumped (clicked) the sort order. When you click audio, it will bring up the screen, click on the name (filename?) tab (bar right above your first file), this will re-sort the files alphabetically.

Nope, that wasn't it. It does not matter what sort order I select all artists starting with numbers or letter A are NOT showing, with the exception of 10,000 Maniacs.

Guess I will start by removing all from the hard drive and reloading from my back up to see if that does anythng.

Thanks for writing. Happy Days!!

Can't think of why it should happen but could they somehow have been set to hidden. In the Folder/options/view tab, highlight the show hidden files and folders button then OK. See if they show up then. If not go back to the options and reset it to how it was.
If they do show, right click on one of the files select properties and see if the hidden box is ticked or if they are all in a particular folder that could be marked as hidden

Thanks Roy and Lonman.

Here is what I finally did:
Made a new folder, copied all the DJ music to it.
Deleted the old folder.
Opened Hoster, clicked audio and pointed to the new folder.
Wha La. All the music comes up just like it always did before last Friday.

Why? We will never know, will we? After it is a computer and like our kids they act up all the time for no darn reason.

But at least the problem is solved and if happens to anyone else they will know what corrective measure to take.

Thanks again and Happy Days!

Thnak you for posting your "fix".


The MS Access database we use can get "farkled" and do stuff it shouldn't. It sounds like this is what you experienced.

Deleting the prior audio folder, and re-introducing the new one could "wake up" Access.

Also, I would suggest in the future FIRST doing a "Rebuild Songs Database". This keeps your BookID's in your KMH and KMA files, starting from scratch. That too should have corrected this wrong behavior.
