Thank you for getting back to me, Lowlander. FYI, I've been a gold user since 2006.
I've tried to update the database with finding missing files as you suggested, but MM doesn't treat them as missing. For example, in MMW5, I can open Folders > D:\ [Data1] > MP3 Music > Pink Floyd and I see 36 albums, the correct count. But if I open the collection Entire Library > Location > D:\ [Data1] > MP3 Music > Pink Floyd I see only one album, D:\MP3 Music\Pink Floyd\The Man In Paris_ Live at Theatre des Champs-Elysees, Paris (1_23_1970) and if I open that album I see only one track, track 9 oddly enough. The weird thing, and maybe this is a clue for you, I can open the collection Entire Library > Albums > Dark Side of the Moon. all of the tracks are there and playable, and are located in D:\MP3 Music\Pink Floyd\Dark Side of the Moon, where it belongs. They are only missing in the Location node.
This is the same as in MMW4. I can open the tracks in a variety of ways, just some files are missing using Location, though the folders MMW4 sees in the Location browser are different to the folders seen by MMW5. Here is maybe another clue: In MMW4 (no idea how to do this in MMW5), if I open Entire Library > Location > D:\Data1 > MP3 Music > All, the correct number of tracks are shown at the bottom of the window. So all of the tracks are there in the database and (I think) all are playable. And Entire Library > Artists, Entire Library > Artists (and Composer, Album Artist, Album, Genre, etc.) all look correct. It's only Entire Library > Location that is showing incorrect data.
I hope this helps.
