Re: Argosy HD-363N

Curious indeed. I think you're right in focusing on TOCMaker -- if you
can get that fixed, I think the AT fix will come along for the ride.

To make sure we're on the same page: Explorer can see *all* the folders,
but TOMMaker, when run on the same computer cannot? What do you see from
(say) a Command (MS-DOS) prompt using the DIR command? I've not used
TOCMaker (though I'm familiar with its function)... does it only list
directories that have songs in them? In which case, it's driven by the
*content* of the folder, and not the name?

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.)
