Any chance of a functionin MC that allows us to make a playlist and remove duplicates based on one field being the same for multiple songs.

I like to archive mulitple copies of the same song to compare sources but in a playlist I would like just one of each song. Any way to automate this? Would a smartlist get the job done; I am not yet real familiar with them.

thanks

Manual Selection Is Needed

Wouldn't the limit function work here?  ie if your duplicate field is the track name you would use

~limit=-1,1,[name]

to ensure only one entry with that [name] was included in the smartlist. 

Perhaps I misundertsand the request.

I'll try it, thanks. Yes, I want to limit the list of songs by using the Name field only.

the problem with that is you do not know what the quality is of the now missing dup, it could show you the one you wish to keep.

it would be nice if when you use the Dup fuction or maybe A New Function

That MC would Send All Files To A List With One Of Them [X] Checked With A Check Listbox, At That Point you Could Review The Results And then Delete.

Or More Parms To Indicate What Ones to Mark To Be Deleted By Bitrate Or Some Other Parm.
