Album shows duplicate tracks when there is only one file
ianhudson:
I have a few albums that show many copies of songs, yet only one copy exists. I have manually removed them, but they keep coming back............is there a way to rescan them?
the attached images should be self explanatory:

I had this same problem a few weeks ago and nothing I did fixed it until......
In MC I deleted the offending ghost file sending it to the recycle bin (I only had one duplicate for each). This fooled MC into thinking it was gone. It also sent the actual file to the recycle bin. Do NOT have MC send the actual file. Just the ghost files. Then I restored the actual file using the recycle bin in Windows Explorer. This is how you trick the program. It thinks the ghost files have been deleted and the real files are just temporarily not connected.
Before doing this, do a back-up and make sure that in Options>Library & Folders>Configure Auto Import> that you select Fix broken links: (Yes protect files on missing drives) is selected.
ianhudson:
Hey there Dawgincontrol - wow, I just followed you on Cloudplay. I look forward to digging into your playlists.....i
Thanks for replying. How do I get at these ghost files? and what even are they? and how do I stop this from even happening? you would think there would be a way to rescan the library for missing files?
This is a growing issue and is now happening to anything new I add to the Library.
JimH:
The most common cause is two auto import entries pointing to the same location. Edit your auto import settings to see.
ianhudson:
nope - and it keeps rescanning it seems.....also attached is my recent albums view. See how the Springsteen album shows most recent? I imported that a while ago and haven't touched it. It now has way more copies.....
