It would appear there is a bug with analyzing ALAC albums in MC 22.0.55. It's probably there with earlier builds as well, but this is the build I've tested with.

What happens is that when you run the "analyze audio" tool on ALAC-encoded albums, it tends to result in 2-4* duplicated files per album (12-15 track albums). These files get's named "original-name (1).m4a". This happens pretty much consistently. I only just discovered it by chance, as I have the analyzer doing it's thing in the background on import.

I tried running the analyzer on the same 11-track album encoded in FLAC and ALAC. On the ALAC-encoded version, I ended up with 3 duplicated files. On the FLAC-encoded version, none of the tracks were duplicated.

I suspect this has something to do with the fact that for FLAC it doesn't create temp files, but with ALAC it does.

* The amount varies, but generally around that amount of files gets duplicated on albums stored on my smb network share.

Managed to have the same thing happen when analyzing a 96kHz/24bit FLAC-album stored on my NAS.
