Missing album covers in Album List
I had bad copies of Jay-Z's Unplugged album. Recently I bought the CD and tonight I was replacing my old files with ones right off the CD. First,
I went into EJ and deleted the old files from the computer and database. Next, I ripped the CD (into the same location where the old ones were).
Finally, I used EJ's option to "Add new songs to the database." I selected the directory where the new files were stored. EJ would not
find any files to add. After several attempts, I selected the files manually through winamp and forced EJ to read them. It then added each file
one-at-a-time and found the correct album cover. However, even after refreshing the album list and attempting to shut the program down and re-start,
EJ will display the album when I select the artist, but the album will not show up in the Album List.

This is occuring because eJukebox remembers what songs you deleted and will not re-add them to the database, unless you Re-Build.
There is a way to get around this:
All you had to do was put the new files in different folder (or just rename the album's folder by 1 character). eJukebox will add songs during an
"add new songs database update" if the file location is new and the file path has never been in the database before.

Since the filenames would theoretically be the same wouldn't it work to just copy the new ones over the old? The Database should never realize
they were gone.
Of course if it just has a hatred of Jay-Z and is being onery I wouldn't blame it.

Well, given my horrible experience with the re-build (took me three days to fix everything) I would like to use any other method possible to work with
my files. It's not that big of a deal to rename the directory, but it will be inconsistent with the rest of my music, as I save everything under
the artist and album name. Is there any reason why after using the option to delete files off the computer and database you cannot add the same path
at a later point? I mean, if you slesct the option to delete the file as well, it's not like the old files would accidently be added again later,
since they are physically gone.

Very good point...We will work on correcting this for the next version. So that if you delete the actual files using eJukebox it will be able to add
the same filepaths back during an "add new songs" update.
