Steam music player issues

[PhantomOfGrace]

I love the steam music player, being able to start and stop songs easily in game when I need to but I've been having a new issue. I am able to play music from a created playlist but there's a couple songs that are only a "-" but have album art. In the main music library some of the albums have their art but none have songs inside of them, Steam detects all of the tracks and albums but doesn't show any of the tracks in the albums so I cannot play them. I have linked the music files successfully before and have worked in the past, now any of my music in the Itunes is not working and also with the OSTs for my games on Steam show the albums but no tracks. Is there any way to fix this situation so I can see and play some of my favorite albums.

I've been having this issue aswell suprisingly and I don't know what to do to fix it either :(

@Kara Vaki Way to necro a thread, I was able to find out my issue a couple days after I first posted this a year ago from the Steam Music Player group place.

Navigate to your steam music folder, I will use my system as a reference

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\music\

Make a backup of "_database" I like to zip it and place it in another file on my desktop but you
can do whatever with it.

Delete the "_database" folder inside of the steam\music folder

Once done go into your steam client and go to "Steam" on the upper left of the screen, go to Settings from the dropdown.

In Settings go to music and hit "Scan now"

After Steam scanned your selected files for songs they will be able to be played in the steam music player again.

Once you can confirm it works go ahead and delete the old "_database" backup you made, you won't need it and it's your problem file.

If it worked or not give me a heads up here.
