360 will not see shared music from Win 7 PC

Ive run into a problem with my 360 not seeing the playlists or music that is added to my wmp 12 library. Im not using the media center function for this, just going to the music section, selecting my pc, and then playing the music I want.

The part that is most frustrating is that this has been working just fine for several months. I have no idea what has happened to cause it to be broken now. I have noticed that the only way I can get my 360 to see any content, is to move it to the 'Music' folder under the user account on my c: drive. I did a test by dropping my playlist files in there and they are immediately accessible on the 360, but of course they dont see any of the music contained in the playlists. All of my music and playlists are stored on an external hard drive that I keep plugged in. The drive has been added to the wmp library and Ive checked the sharing and streaming options to make sure its all still enabled. As far as I can tell, it all looks normal.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
