Song files not updating

[radicalblues]

So far I’ve just added 1 artist, the folder is:
C:\Music\Joaquín Sabina

All my albums are folders inside that folder. Now, let’s say I add a *new* mp3 to one of those folders on Windows, because it was missing from the album. That new song won’t show on Music Box Alpha, or will have weird behavior.
In this example, I added track 11 late, and as result track 11 is appearing at the TOP of my album, instead of the bottom, weird.

What if I delete all the mp3 of a folder album, and replace them with new, better quality mp3? Well, tried it and now the album is completely gone from Music Box, forever. Rebooting or removing the folder and adding it again won’t fix it.
Here I deleted the mp3 from my folder to replace them with new ones, and the album is no longer on the artist collection:

The weird thing is, if I go to Collection Albums instead of Artists, the album WILL be there, but doesn't load the artwork, and I can't even get to update the metadata there.

I’m a Launchbox supporter too, glad to be part of the Alpha, cheers!

I'll look into this, though it should be solved by just restarting MBA.

I can't seem to replicate this; I tested this exact scenario and everything worked as expected. Are you sure the new music files that you added have tags? It's possible that they're somewhere else in the collection because they're missing file tags or something of that nature.

It's probably just because the mp3 files don't have any images or metadata/file tags on them.
