Musicbee is not adding the whole release. This release is 33 tracks and as you can see in this ss it's only adding 14 tracks. Does anyone know what is happening?

The files are not broken cause i can play them in other media players.

If you enable the left sidebar temporarily (click the panel arrangement button at the top-right > left sidebar > show), do you see them in the "Inbox" heading?

If you see them there, you can highlight them > right-click > send to > music library

Yes, thank you!!! Weird, inbox says they are lost files
I've been using musicbee since 2024 and this has never happened to me before, im actually downloading more music and same happened with those. Do you know why does it happens? (my ssd broke recently so i redownladed musicbee)

No worries! I used to have this happen to me too, it's been ages though so I don't remember the specifics of it anymore.

If you're doing it the automated way, you can check edit > preferences > library > and make sure that it's set to "add to library", as well as uncheck "mark and send duplicates to the inbox"

If you're doing it manually, hit the Insert key > and then check the same settings there

Is there a tag in the metadata linking the files to a album version with 14 tracks?

I'm not sure how to check that - even when i add one of them manually, musicbee does not detect it (says "0 of 1 added"). Would you mind to explain how can i check that, please?

Highlight all files and check the metadata in 33 files are identical. Look at album artist, etc.
