RE: Deleted folder/album still present - Nutul - 11-02-2024

If its filesystem / tag parsing is not case-sensitive, that could be the reason...

In my specific case (I use whole-disc FLAC + CUE) the title and artist tags in the FLAC file MUST BE CONSISTENT with the same in the CUE file, otherwise I end up with a double album in the library.
Just my 2c
I've checked; all tracks are consistent.

This is a relevant thing to do still. Start the playback of a ghost tracj=k, then press the three dots and select audio info. That will give you the path that MPD thinks the track is at and that will help locate how it is getting confused.

If you are able to play the file it must exists on your NAS but another way to confirm that it exists is to access it from the command line. Just add /mnt/ to the beginning of the path shown in Audio info and run any of the commands below.
If the file doesn't exist then those commands will print an error like "No such file or directory"
Code:
stat "/mnt/NAS/..."
ls l "/mnt/NAS/..."
file "/mnt/NAS/..."You can also check each containing directory to confirm that it exists and also whether there are any "dot" (hidden) files or directories using the command below. Ignore the first two dot files named "." and ".."
Code:
ls -al "/mnt/NAS/directory1/directory2/RE: Deleted folder/album still present - ICLlP - 11-03-2024
I think i might remove the ‘good’ folder too. Regenerate DB. Hopefully all will disappear. If so I’ll then replace the ‘good’ folder.

I’ve done this and all is now good. Thanks for all the suggestions.
