try rebuilding your song database..that might work..i kinda noticed that everyone that did an upgrade the kma files are being moved ,if rebuilding doesn't work, you might wanna think about going back to the older version 3.317

Paul, make sure your external's drive letter didn't change. If that happened then you can reset the drive letter to what it was or rebuild the database.
Billyo, not everyone has had this happen. The reason it looks bad is because those who successfully upgrade don't report it here. This one I suspect does not have anything to do with the upgrade.

I don't think rebuilding my song data base will work. The songs (65,000) that were on my external hard drive are gone. I had them stored in G:\songs. when i go to my computer an open G then songs it says EMPTY. The songs are not there.

sorry to hear that..do you have a back-up to where you can copy your songs? .. if not this might and may not work make sure your ext. drive is plugged in and maybe..just maybe if you do a system restore...?

see if they were moved to your c: drive

search your c: drive for .kma

I searched C drive --- nothing, besides my C drive onily has 100 gigs and that would not be enough hard drive to store 65,000 kma songs.
What i am trying now is (My external HD is a seagate 500 gig) i whent to properties in G dive, opened up TOOLS, clicked on SCAN FOR AND ATTEMPT RECOVERY OF BAD FILES. It has been running now for about 1 hr. and is loading something ? I will let you know if this works. (good lord it has taken me 2 yrs to get these songs)
