I have problems with some files. When I copy them on a stick and connect it to the raspi they are showed in the library.

Regenerate the Library and then examine the MPD log to see if there any errors.
Code:
cat /var/log/mpd/log

Didn't found anything helpful in the logs.
mpd log shows only added entries:
Code:
Jan 22 09:40 : update: updating SDCARD/Stereo Test/LRMonoPhase4.flac
moode log shows nothing helpful. Here is the forced mount error of NAS - I entered a wrong password to get a fresh input for the library:
Code:
pi@moode:~ $ moodeutl -l
what can do next?

Logs look ok. Typically when files don't show up in the Library it's due to one of the conditions below.

From your moOde player's command line you can list the entire directory structure of the mounted source as seen by moOde/MPD (the output can be volumious!), e.g.,
Code:
cd /mnt/NAS/LaptopNAS
The output will show all files and directories (including "hidden" items), their ownership and permissions as interpreted by Linux.
I usually redirect the output to a file so I can explore it at my leisure; something like
Code:
ls -laR > ~/NAS.listing
which stores the output in a text file named NAS.listing in user pi's home directory.
Obviously you can start at a lower level in the directory tree if you already have an idea where your "missing" files are.

I can see the problematic folders and they appear in the library of moode. But they are empty. The music files do not appear, when accessing folder via terminal or in the library.

Edit Reason: ETA

This is just a guess, mind, but it sounds like improper permissions or ownership on directories in the share (in Windows 10 or whatever) are preventing the Samba client (in moOde/MPD/Linux) from seeing the files in question.
Try comparing
the permissions on the directories leading to a file which can be seen
the permissions on the directories leading to a file you know is present but not seen.
Drawing from the MPD output in a previous post, for example, the directories "
EPs_Neu" and "J
oline Scheffler - Force Uknown " apparently have acceptable permissions and ownership.
The Library/Folder view in moOde is *not* a file manager, BTW. It displays only what MPD considers to be playable tracks [1] and what it believes to be albums. It can be fooled by the other issues Tim mentioned such as missing or corrupt metadata or corrupt files.
ETA - I use the words "folder" and "directory" interchangeably. They've always been directories but, to the best of my recollection, they started getting called folders when Xerox introduced the desktop metaphor as part of the Xerox Star GUI.
