Problems importing music into iTunes

Add Folder/File will not import music that isn't supported by iTunes. So the question is, what is the format of the music that is failing to import?

Another possible reason for the apparent failure to import may be that the songs are importing, but you simply can't find them, perhaps because songs don't have the appropriate fields filled in for the view you are using. For example, if the songs do not have the album title listed, and you look at an album list, those songs will all be listed under "Unknown Album"

Here's a useful view, which shows all the music by import date, with the newest imports at the top of the list:

Using this view, one can see anything and everything that was imported on a given date.

the fiend,

The files are mp3 format. Also, how do I view when songs were added? I click on Playlist tab, then Songs in the upper right but I don't see where #3 is showing the date added.

Then you'll need to be specific about the symptoms of these bugs, because I'm also using Windows 7 with Tunes 12.2.1.16 (64-bit) and I have yet to have any issues like the one mentioned in the original post.

I'm having problems with tracks not playing when double clicking them, track listings disappearing from view when clicking on just one of them, constantly have to resize the iTunes screen when opening because the side scroll bar is not visible. All this has only been happening since the latest update and was happening today when on the phone with support for 45 minutes (ish) whilst discussing and trying to get rid of, the biography, similar artist etc., display info that has been forced upon us. Chap from support could not understand it either, he saw it happening, and told me to submit a feedback form.

Another possibility is that the security permissions on the files you are importing prevent iTunes from accessing the files. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if needed.

Do you have your iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Advance set to organise the library and to add files to the library when imported?

Your music should be in Music/iTunes/iTunes media/music

I am also using Windows 7 and iTunes 12.2.1.16 and since updating to the latest level of iTunes I have had various problems. I am convinced it has bugs and glitches that definitely need sorting out!

You can right-click on the column headings and choose the fields you want listed.
