Previously, the Music folder was mapped as a network drive, M: as \\server\Media\Music, and MediaMonkey was pointed to M:
After the move, I changed the network drive mapping so that M: pointed to \\server\Music
Since the music was still on M:, I didn't expect MediaMonkey to even notice the change. But it did; none of the music could be found. So I ran the UpdateLocationOfFiles script, and the artwork and 'Now Playing' list recovered. All seemed good.
Then I noticed a discrepancy in the 'Location' tree view; Many album artists have only one album visible in that view, and that album contains only one track (usually the first, but not always).

If I look at the 'All' view at the top of the list of album artist folders, everything is correct; all albums, and all tracks are visible for all album artists. If I view album covers, all albums are present, and viewing by tracks, all tracks are present.

I have run 'Maintain Library' (quick and complete); I have restarted MM multiple times. I have rebooted the PC. I have re-scanned the folders numerous times. Nothing fixes this problem; the Location view under individual Album Artists appears resolutely broken.
My music is filed in a number of source folders, under my M: network drive
M:\<source level 1>\<source level 2>\<album artist>\<album>\<track> <title>
This has worked fine for the last eight years. Well, for the last eight years, it has looed like:
M:\Music\<source level 1>\<source level 2>\<album artist>\<album>\<track> <title>
Any suggestions as to what this problem might be, and how to fix it (short of deleting the entire database and starting again, losing all play counts, etc)?
