Does anyone know if there is a way (auto playlist, view) that would make it easy to identify duplicate tracks?

[KingSparta]

what?

you can find Dups by Using ~Dups

Then Send Them To The Play List

Not Sure What You Want To Do With Them

hakuin...there is a smartlist to find duplicates in your library...look on the tree (left hand side of the screen), select playlists>add smartlist, then look at the smartlist rule pull down menu...it's there.   B

[hakuin]

Thanks.  I found the smartlist.  I also created a view with a rule that find duplicates based on a set of fields.

The reason I wanted to do this is because somehow in moving my library from one hard drive to another, I ended up with a lot of files showing twice -- one with the audio icon, the dupe with the not-found icon (gray doc with red x).  I used duplicate finding rule to view them so i could delete them....much easier than scrolling to find 300 dupes in 10,000 songs.

wouldn't it have been easier just  to do the files>library> update library>remove files that do not exist? that would have removed all those pesky little exed files in one fell swoop.     Bet

That Works Fine In MC9 And MC10

For Some Reason That Option Is No Longer Aval In MC11

I Can't Find It, I Feel That Was A Big Mistake To Remove It (I Want It Back!!!!)

What You Need To Do In MC11 Is Reimport Files (You Can Point It To A Empty Folder) And That Will Fix Missing Linked Files.

That's still in 11.

[hakuin]

ah yes....i forgot about the "update library".  that would have been much easier.

[KingSparta]

That's still in 11.

not in mine

[Dragyn]

It's been moved to the import dialog

It's been moved to the import dialog

ya i think I said that, would be a bit more handy if you did not need to go thru all of that.

[Dragyn]

hmm..  I guess you did.

They're probably gonna assume people will just add their directories and be done with it. Then all you have to do is re run the import.

need a break. be back later...
