My Question or Issue
Up until a few days ago all my local files played fine but recently about 1/4 of my over 20,000 local files have become greyed out. Entire albums are greyed out instead of just a few songs off of one. Most of the song files that are greyed out are MP3s but there are some M4A files too. The songs that are greyed out don't show up when searched for in spotify. Also if I update the album that's greyed out by doing something like changing the genre the songs will un-grey and become playable, but only until I close spotify and open it back up again, where it will go back to being greyed out and unplayable.
I've tried uninstalling spotify, deleting index. dat, deleting local-files. bnk, disabling hardware acceleration, restarting my computer, changing the offline song storage, and changing the song source to the direct folder instead of "Music Library" but nothing has worked so far.
