I store a large amount of my MP3 collection on a couple drives in my PC which I have shared and connect to over a network for iTunes. This usually works fine, but today I noticed something odd. It seems certain MP3 files aren't showing up in iTunes or, in fact, OS X itself, i.e. the Finder. The directories, which are full on my Windows machine, show up on the Mac as being 0 bytes large. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I've tried mounting the drive again, but nothing. Maybe it's on the Windows side and somehow the files aren't being shared? I don't know, I'm stumped. Has anyone else had this problem?

Weird. I'm actually able to access more files and directories on Samba shares than I was in Panther. Check the permissions on the Windows machine, or try a reboot. Rebooting has already fixed a couple weird problems I was having.

Okay, so a quick update on this. I tried rebooting the Windows machine, unsharing/resharing the files, checking the permissions, etc. It all seemed to look okay, and my other Windows box could see it as well.

I tried moving one of the mp3 folders to a different location, and to my surprise I could in fact see the files there. Then I moved it back to the old place - they disappeared once again. So I made a new folder in the original location, and once again they showed up fine. So now I basically just have to create a new folder for the old files in the same location, I guess. It can have the same name and everything, I just delete the old one and it works fine. Weird.

Edit: One last thing. I switched from Simple to Advanced sharing in XP, unshared/reshared, and this finally seemed to fix things. So, to summarize: Windows' fault. Easy fix, though.
