Sorry, I missed this. It suggests your newly transferred files don't have any metadata.
In the folder view, tracks without metadata will listed by their filename. Not so in the tag view and the album by artist views. Tracks must have a proper metadata tag to be listed.
You can check your files from the moOde command line using the mediainfo command:
If you don't see lines like Album, Track name, ..., then your track hasn't been tagged with metadata.
Yeah, moOde handles the mount points (which are at /media), but you said you transferred your files to the /media folder itself. That's not good practice.
As for inotify, that's a Linux function which is used in detecting files which have changed. See Tim's reply to your original post.

Quote:WRT the mount point for USB drives, moode handles this automatically (thanks Tim) so I haven't messed with it.
