Can't see track names in GUI. Just AudioTrack 01, etc.

Did I do something to the music db? I can see them in the DB editor through.
Sort Order does have :trackname included.
TIA

Clarifying the above. I only see audiotrack 01... etc. when I click an album. I used to see the track names at that time.
However, if I launch an album, I can hit Show and see the track names. It's just that I can't click an album and preview the track names.
Has to be something very simple.

I don't know what's up but it might help people if you shared which skin you are using...and if you've made any modifications.

Hi.
Using default skin. Only skin changes I made were 2 or 3 weeks ago (so far as I know). I added an event and button to turn on my WinTV USB2 in the WebCams section. I also accidentally replaced the music collage with the right-arrow graphic in the music section.

Hmm. I was playing around in the skin editor yesterday come to think of it, I MAY have changed something. I was trying to get rid of the right arrow and restore the default music collage.

I didn't expect what I described above as a possible skin issh until your reply.
Thanks

Oh! When I hit Show, it always says 'current playlist: not saved'. The way I gen a play list is to use CDEX to rip to MP3, then play the folder thru WinAmp . Then I copy the PL to the music folder.

there's a plugin that will autolookup a cd and generate a miniDB and playlist for it with coverart, you might want to look into that..i'm not sure exactly what it's called, but i plan on checking it out this weekend

Thanks! I'll give it a try. What the heck, I've totally messed up my data base anyway. Last backup was 6 albums ago
