    Hey all,
    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but i cant see where else to post this. Im having some really annoying issues with adding albums to itunes (downloaded albums), they just will not add, i've tried dragging them in, using file/add file to library and file/add folder to library but nothing happens. No errors come up at all, just nothing happens.
    Its happening with quite alot of albums im trying to add, although these albums are in .mp3 format and are not protected. Its really really bugging me now, i've googled the problem and i cant get any real answers on how to fix this :/
    Anyone had this problem before?

    oh sorry Fracture I miss-understood your question, I thought you meant from music that you had uploaded to your pc, not actual downloaded music. Sorry i cant help.

    I've had a similar problem but only if I add an album to itunes which hasnt been properly tagged. It doesnt show up and when I re-add after correcting the tags it still doesnt show.

    So you had to transcode all your files for iTunes to recognise them? What a pos program.

    sometimes if mp3 (or any audio file for that matter) is encoded using non standard settings, then itunes can have a problem. For example, it wont take 24bit mixes (well, mine wont anyway).
