    We need more info about your setup

    How is your equipment setup ? Are you connecting to the Touch through a network or are you connecting your HDD directly to the Touch ? Can you determine any pattern to what does not show on the Touch ? That sounds like a tagging issue. The scan stopping unexpectedly could be various issues.

    yes through a network, had the albums showing before though, so cant see what has happened they are all still showing on the HD but not on the touch all files are wav lossless for audio use and as i say they showed befor for quite a while, just havent been able to see them recently and ive changed nothing, what do you think i should do, very frustrating
    Cheers

    Can you see the missing albums using the web interface of LMS on your laptop ? If so, check the tags of the ones that do not appear versus the ones that do appear on the Touch. What version of LMS are you running ?

    More than likely, the art work is too large (file size) for the touch to show.

    Open Lms control panel from lower right tray. (right click the Lms icon). One of the tabs has a clear cache button. Just clear cache, don't also select clear settings.
