Squeezebox Touch not diplaying some music files

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me with this dilemma. I have been using a Squeezebox Touch to wirelessly stream music from my itunes library (via Logitech Media Server), with excellent results. I have had no problems with my entire music library showing up on the Squeezebox touch. All my music has been converted to high quality AIFF files. Somewhere with the last 1-2 updates on the Squeezebox Touch and itunes, I have lost about 5% of the songs on my library. That means that those songs do not show up on the Squeezebox Touch but I can find them if I use the Search function. This is a major annoyance as I have to try & remember which songs I am missing. None of the songs have any restriction such as DRM.
Could any of the experts in Computer audio shed some light on what might be going on and what can be done to fix this problem? I would be very grateful.
Thank you!

Have you tried rescanning your music in Logitech Media Server Control Panel? You can look for new music or rescan the entire library.

If that doesn't work, try adding the library to iTunes so it will rebuild tagging info. Usually I delete everything in iTunes folder before adding the library.

That's exactly the problem I had with iTunes. It takes matters into its own hands, and starts retagging everything. I don't see why you would want it to do something like that.
My suggestion is if rescanning his library doesn't work in Logitech Media Server, then try adding/importing library into iTunes AGAIN. Basically delete old state info and re-add.

He configured LMS to use iTunes ... I never had problems with iTunes or LMS. BTW I prefer LMS over JRiver, PS Audio, MinimServer ... for SQ and reliability. Too bad they got bought out.

My guess is index needs updating in LMS.
