Id been playing around with NAPSTER downloading MP3 files until I got enough to need to rename and organize them (some had names artist-title.MP3, some title/artist.MP3). Anyway at about 36 files I could not tell at a glance what I had so I created a new directory C:\MyMusic and cut and pasted all the MP3 files <br>
from C:\program files\napster\music\*.Mp3,<br>
to the new directory C:\MyMusic. I'm using WindowsExplorer and after the paste operation, I click on MyMusic and it shows nothing. I hit F5, still nothing. I go back to the directory that I cut from C:\program files\napster\music and there's nothing there either. I figured they had to land somewhere so I did a search on '*.MP3'. The results show the files in C:\MyMusic. Click on MyMusic, F5, nothing. <br>
My view settings are set to SHOW ALL FILES, NOTHING HIDDEN. I'm about ready to call a shrink because none of this makes sense. I ran Norton Disk Doctor, it chattered about lost clusters and deleted them. Rebooted. Open WindowsExplorer, click MyMusic and there's nothing there. Again ran Find on *.MP3 and all 36 files show up as being in C:\MyMusic! I was about to refer this matter to the 'Dept. of Redundancy Dept.' when I had a flash, 'Why not select all files from the find screen and copy all the files from C:\MyMusic to C:\MyMusic. Worked like a charm!<br>
A was fully prepared for the error messages FROM/TO LOCATION SAME or REPLACE filename with filename but didn't get either.<br>
I'm an experienced technical user and this has me baffled. I'm not even sure at this point whether this is a hardware or software problem. <br>
Any ideas?
