I assume / hope this is something easy to fix. As of a few days ago, my WMP 11 music library shows only a small portion (<10%) of the songs actually in my music database. All the songs/albums are still in My Music on my hard drive, but they just don't show up in WMP. I tried the "Monitor Folders" thing, and WMP seems to go through 100% of the folders but then doesn't add any folders. Initially, there didn't seem to be any particular logic to which songs/files are there and which are not -- there's a mix of old stuff and new, stuff I ripped as WMA and stuff I ripped as MP3s -- but when I looked closer at what's there, I noticed that no artist whose file begins with a letter of the alphabet before "N" is there (hmmm ... what gives here??).
I'd also mention that all my playlists see to be intact -- and in fact, songs that are on playlists but no longer shown in the library play just fine.
Unless somebody has a better suggestion, I plan to delete the WMP library database file and see if that fixes things, but I figured I'd give this forum a shot first since there symptoms are a bit different from what I've read elsewhere.
