"Tracks in the compilation albums" making whole books disappear from library

[PhilK]

I followed Ishiyoshi's excellent advice in how to get audiobooks to go into my nw-hd5h without them being all over the place, and the 2nd time I tried it the book dropped out of my library completely. Puzzled I tried again...and again...and again with different books, all dispapear. What is it ? It didnt the first time but has done it every time since.

Ishiyoshi - have you an idea of whats causing this and a fix for it ?

I seem to get the answer to one problem only for another to replace it with the Sony software.

I am not even half way to filling it after loading for 10 days.

Hi folks,

Too bad nobody had anything to say about this - because the same thing has just happened to me. I compiled a whole lot of tracks (maybe about 60) into an album and then I renamed the album. The result was that the album plus all the contents disappeared from my library without a trace (SonicStage 4.3). Before I realized it was gone, I set about compiling a similarly large number of tracks into another album and then tried to rename it. This time the new name simply wasn't accepted (that's when I started to look for the first big compilation and discovered it was gone). There's plenty of memory available.

How do I get that album back, and what is it exactly that SonicStage doesn't like?

Hoping for help,

Monica

Monica:

Try selecting the Artist view where it gives you an alphabetical choice. You might find your songs that way. You can also try Album view, and, here is the interesting part, go to the top of the list and see if you find blank spaces or go to the end and try Other. Those would be your albums. I have situations where they were scattered to hell and back all over a 7000 item listing. It took a while, but I found them all.
