Sometimes I accidentally rip the same CD twice, giving it the same artist and album name and often the same track names.  Is there a way to scan for duplicates -- e.g. albums that have multiple instances of the same track numbers?

Thanks!

open media center, press the F9 key, from the rule drop-down, choose "audio -- task -- possible duplicates"

Thanks -- but I think I'm looking for something different -- instances where for the same Album and Artist, there are multiple instances of the same Track # -- 1, 2, etc.  In other words, the tracks may not have the same name, but where there may be two copies of the same album listed under the same Album and Artist anyway.

Muchos gracias...

Never mind -- I figured it out, based on your pointer.

I use a smartlist with this filter:

[media type]=[audio] ~dup=[artist],[album],[track #] ~sort=[artist],[album],[track #],[name] -[Genre]=[Classical]

I can then build another one for only Classical that adds [composer] to the dup list.

Thanks!

Replying to myself again...

That approach does generate some spurious results due to apparent concatenation of [album] and [track #] literally...

E.g. these two are flagged as duplicates when they are not -- "CD1" concatenated with "11" is being matched with "CD11" concatenated with "1".


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

Track 11   Nat King Cole   The Complete Capitol Recordings CD1   ?   General   11   2:26   324   wma      R:\Music\General\Nat King Cole\Nat King Cole - The Complete Capitol Recordings CD1\Nat King Cole - The Complete Capitol Recordings CD1 - 11.wma

Track 1   Nat King Cole   The Complete Capitol Recordings CD11   ?   General   1   2:36   440   wma      R:\Music\General\Nat King Cole\Nat King Cole - The Complete Capitol Recordings CD11\Nat King Cole - The Complete Capitol Recordings CD11 - 01.wma


That's pretty funny, actually!
