Thanks for your replies. Obviously math is not my strong point.

I never got to select the directory I wanted. I was in the default view (Albums? -- whatever comes up automatically when I start), then I tapped on "[folder view]" and Minim crashed. In other words, I never got to select "jazz" or whatever folder I was intending to go to.

I did restart MinimServer when the problem first occurred, and the same exact thing happened.

One other thing that may or may not be relevant. I have two .mcache files for each directory, such as "jazz-1.mcache" and "jazz-2.mcache." File sizes are the same but dates are different.

I will be happy to send you any of the .mcache files if you want. What do you suggest I do to get music back? Should I upgrade to 8.2 rather than continuing with 8.1 and the auto updates?

Thanks - David

There are no changes in 0.8.2 that could affect this.

Have you recently made a change to your contentDir settings? If so, please describe what the previous settings were and what the current settings are.

To get music back, you can delete all .mcache files and restart MinimServer. I would appreciate it if you could make a copy of all the .mcache files before you delete them so that I can examine them for clues later.

It is normal to have these pairs of .mcache files. Please make copies of both the -1 and -2 versions.
