Check Tagging
If you don’t see your music listed as you expect when you go to
My Music > Artists, Albums,
it could be that it is not tagged
correctly. In this case, Squeezebox Server has successfully read all of your music but it is not listed as expected because music
tags are not set correctly or are absent entirely.
One way to confirm that incorrect tags are the issue:
From the Home menu, go to
•
My Music > Albums.
See if your albums are not catalogued correctly, or if there is a listing for “No Album”. This is the category that
Squeezebox Server uses when it cannot find correct tags with which to categorize an album.
There are a number of free and fee tag editors. If your tag editor can clean out the tags entirely and re-create them,
this will frequently fix the issue.
