A fix for the fix?
It's interesting that the Microsoft Support fix is working for some but not for others. After looking around at a few different threads, it looks like there may be an issue with the way that people are renaming their files.
The support article describes renaming the database files to ZuneStore.sdf.old and CurrentDatabase_365.wmdb.old. this worked just fine for me, and my metadata is now working just fine. But it seems that people are renaming their files to ZuneStore.old.sdf and CurrentDatabase_365.old.wmdb. The point of the fix appears to be to hide the databases from the Zune software, thereby forcing it to rebuild them. If you simply rename the files without changing the file extensions, it looks like the software is finding and recovering the original (incorrect) databases.
The Microsoft article fails to point out that file extensions need to be visible for the renaming to work properly as they describe it.
Can someone check this out and confirm it one way or another?
