For some reason I know have 1,441 audio duplicates in my library of over 8000 songs. I can see them in the duplicates playlist and each one points to the same location in the file directory. How could this happen?
datdude:
I have attempted to delete them from the library, but MC simply re-imports them. :-X

Look closely at the filename column. Is there some subtle difference of the filename for the duplicate files?
datdude:
Hi Matt,
Here is a screen shot, you can see that the filename paths are identical:

I have looked in the parent directory and there are no duplicate files. I should note, that I did perform a rename file from properties task and I'm sure that is what cuased the problem. However, I have done this exactly the same several times before with MC 12, with 0 problems.
EDIT: I restored too soon. is it possible to undo a library restore? I just need a few smartlists that I worked hard on today.
