some albums missing from foobar

Hi, I just got foobar and some of the albums I have in my library (I have windows 7) are not showing up in foobar. I used to use iTunes, could they be tied to iTunes? all the ones that are missing are CD's that I recently saved to my computer, using iTunes. When I delete something in my library, it's deleted from foobar. but even when I try to add each specific missing album to foobar, they won't show up. What should I do?

have you looked in the foobar console (found on the View menu) to see if there any messages?

Oh, I just did - it doesn't tell me much other than facet installation and when foobar started up?

Is it possible that you have excluded that file types from being added? Look at Preferences, Media Library, File types.
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

I don't think so, there is just *.CUE in that space. I don't know what that means... I find it weird that only my most recent CD uploads are not showing up?

Did you disable "Rescan on startup" or "Monitor for changes" for that specific share in Preferences->Media Library->Music Folders (right click on share)?
It's only audiophile if it's inconvenient.

that's odd. if i try and add an apple lossless file to my watched folders without that component installed, my console says this....

Location not parsable: "E:\Music\01. Magpie.m4a", reason: Unsupported format or corrupted file

But only on the first time it sees those files.
Full-quoting makes you scroll past the same junk over and over.
