Thanks for that info, but I get the opposite... I think.

With installation defaults, I drag in some .WMAs. Then I drag in an .m3u - I see "Importing files" and then Content Pane shows each file in both sets *twice* e.g.

Track #   Name   Artist   Album   Album Artist   Rating   Genre   Duration   Bitrate   File Type   Filename   Date

8   Como las margaritas   Alfredo De Angelis canta Carlos Dante, Julio Martel   Dos En Uno (Con Alma De Tango/Pregonera)   Alfredo De Angelis   4   Vals   2:47   611   wma   D:\Audio\Albums\Alfredo De Angelis\Dos En Uno (Con Alma De Tango-Pregonera)\08 Como las margaritas.wma   

8   Como las margaritas   Alfredo De Angelis canta Carlos Dante, Julio Martel   Dos En Uno (Con Alma De Tango/Pregonera)   Alfredo De Angelis   4   Vals   2:47   611   wma   D:\Audio\Albums\My Playlists\..\Alfredo De Angelis\Dos En Uno (Con Alma De Tango-Pregonera)\08 Como las margaritas.wma

False ;) The paths

 D:\Audio\Albums\Alfredo De Angelis\example.wma
 D:\Audio\Albums\My Playlists\..\Alfredo De Angelis\example.wma

refer to the very same file.

I have a hunch. That MC's path comparison is failing to notice such duplicate references to the same file. Perhaps because it doesn.t understand ..\ . Perhaps because it is just a dumb string match.

JimH:
MC can't assume the files are the same.  For example:

C:\music\album1\track01.mp3
and
C:\music\album10\track01.mp3

It can and should, because

>>> D:\Audio\Albums\Alfredo De Angelis\example.wma
>>> D:\Audio\Albums\My Playlists\..\Alfredo De Angelis\example.wma

necessarily refer to the same file.

> For example:
> C:\music\album1\track01.mp3
> C:\music\album10\track01.mp3

That's not an example of the case in question. Those paths refer to different files.

Don't do that.
