Are you viewing in Files mode? If so, settings has a selection to choose to use tags rather than filenames in files view, and you may wish to change that setting. If your temporary folder is not a 'music source', than it probably would treat the files differently than after you move them into a music source directory.

Thanks...I do have 'enable tag reading' ticked and problem is in Files mode as well as Library mode. All of these problems seems to have started when I had a .cue file in the folder along with the music that I copied to the hard drive running Xbmc. However, even when I start over by deleting the files, then copy the files to xbmc without the .cue file, it doesn't show track names if in the originally named folder (in this case, "Pixies". However, if I copy files to a new folder named anything else (e.g. "Random") the track files show up. If I rename "Random" to "Pixies", track names disappear.
And now, as I noted above, I can't move my music files to another folder in an attempt to delete the music library and repopulate it. At a loss for what to do to fix this.

For the files/tag issue, you are probably overlooking some simple tagging issue. Check your tags with a good tag software & make sure cue files are correct or delete them if you don't need them. Make sure MBID tags aren't the cause.
For the files movement, as it appears you are using Ubuntu OS, you probably want to check permissions and such and first approach as an OS problem and not a KODI problem.
Hopefully you keep a backup of your music directory.

Thanks the tags are correct I confirmed with MP3tag. Just to be sure I erased the tags and then replaced them with all new tags via MP3tag-- still didn't fix the problem. Did anyone look at the debug log--is that helpful?

There was some discussion a while back about problems parsing information from cue files, so maybe that is where the problem started and the db is retaining that information for some reason??
The only thing I can tell from your debug log is that your taste in music is much like mine....... It does say it is moving files, so that appears to be working. You do have some add-ons that some here might consider as unsupported and possibly inviting problems...

It appears to me that files are being moved, but the library isn't being updated afterward.

I have tried updating and cleaning the library. What about the "failed to move at least one file operation was aborted" error? Because I feel that if I could put my music files in a new folder it would possibly solve the database corruption issue and let me repopulate my library correctly...

You can just delete your musicdb file (or better rename with .old), and Kodi will simply create a new one when you re-scan. If you are starting from scratch, it is a good idea to do it as well.
