That's a good thought, and I should have mentioned it -- none of them are simple 8.3 names, but I don't see any obvious correlation between the ones that work and the ones that don't.  And again, it's not just the AT that isn't seeing them; TOCMaker isn't either.

For what it's worth, the AT is seeing the following three directories

Acoustic Eidolon
Ad Vielle Que Poura
Al Stewart

while missing others like

Beatles
Judy Collins

An eclectic collection, to be sure, but rather smaller than I wanted...

Still, it's a good theory.  I tried renaming all the artist and album directories in my small collection to 8.3 names, with no effect at all on the AT.  However, TOCMaker did see one directory that it had missed previously, but still missed another one.  (I didn't try renaming all the files, since it would have been a *lot* of work and seemed unlikely to affect the directory scanning.)
