Symptom:
Some (or all) songs are not showing in the songs database panel.  It is possible that when savings "new" songs, SSP indicates that it already exists.


Possible Cause:
The songs that you are looking for are in the database but they are being filtered out and not displayed in the database panel.

Solution:
Click or View - Media Files panel > Songs tab
Verify that the Short List and Apply Filter check-boxes are not selected.
Select the Filter songs menu and select Clear All Filters.

Possible Cause:
Songs were manually moved, renamed, or copied in the Songs folder on the hard drive and SongShow Plus doesn't know they are there.

Solution:
Rebuild the SongShow Plus song database index:
Click Tools/Database Utilities/SongShow Plus/Rebuild Indexes...


Possible Cause:
SongShow Plus is set to not display one or more song databases.

Solution:
Click Songs/Search Databases.
Select the databases you want displayed in the Songs panel.


Possible Cause:
The database you are trying to access is not set to be active.

Solution:
Click Tools/Song Database Sources.
Verify there is a check-mark next to all of the song databases that you want to activate in SongShow Plus.


Possible Cause:
If you have updated to Version 9.3, it is possible that an SSP reindex is needed.

Solution:
To do a complete SSP reindex, refer to this article.
