multiple tracks with duplicate information - check logic bug?
« on: December 31, 2006, 01:33:38 am »

There is a check made when doing a sync to see if there is duplicate information.  If it finds duplicate information, it gives the following message:

"You are attempting to transfer multiple tracks with duplicate information.  Would you like to remove the duplicates and continue with the transfer?"

I think this check is based on matching the tag information - although I'm not 100% sure about that.  Assuming I'm correct, I do not think Disc # is being considered, and I believe it should.

As an example:  I have an album called Thirty Days.  It is a 17 disc set by the Beatles.  It's the making of Let It Be with lots of duplicate track information - outtakes, rehearsals, etc.  Everything was fine with the way I had this setup.  I had the disc # in the album name.  I did not use the disc # tag.  I changed this over to remove the disc # from the album name and use the Disc # tag.  It now shows duplicate information and I cannot sync that album.  As a workaround, I changed the it back to use Disc # in the album name.  Everything works fine if I do that.

Does this sound like a bug?  If so it is not critical and I will ignore it. 

If it does not sound like a bug I would like to confirm the duplicate information logic so I can fix the tags on my 17 disc album.

I've got a similar problem:

In my case though, I"m not even sure why it thinks certain files are duplicates. If someone could provide an answer so I can figure out what is going on, that would be much appreciated. How does MC determine if a file is a duplicate?
