Thank you for your reply; no none of the missing albums have Artist or Album Artist starting with "The", if they had I would've checked under T's. The missing albums started near the end of my B's (@ Boyz II Men, II album) and all albums after that before the start of C. In total, I was missing Boyz II Men (II), Boyz II Men (Legacy), Bright Eyes (Digital Ash in a Digital Urn), Bright Eyes (It's Wide Awake, It's Morning), Broken Bells (Self-titled album), Bruce Hornsby & The Range (The Way It Is), Bruno Mars (Doo-Wops & Hooligans), and lastly Bush (Sixteen Stone). The next artist, Candlebox, starts with a C and was always showing up fine. So my assumption was that there was must've been something seriously wrong with the tags in the Boyz II Men, album II, and it was affecting the rest of the B's in my library...
So, even though the Artist and Album Artist field *appeared* to be correctly populated on the culprit Boyz II Men album, I tried repopulating the common fields for all of my Boyz II Men albums (editing properties for multiple tracks and albums at the same time) and this resolved the issue. So.....moral of the story....don't believe the field when you see this type of behavior even if the field looks correct. Just try retagging the entire culprit album or album(s) and see if the missing albums come back. Worked like a charm for me!
Thanks again
