I first reported seeing this in Media Center 12.0.267. I reported that I saw it after trying to sync to my 60gb iPod. Unfortunately, I don't remember what exactly I was doing, just that I had some problems, and ended up with duplicates, in some cases 3 duplicates of songs, all 'exactly' the same; path, name, etc.
My files are stored on an external hard drive, that is mapped as Drive M:/ in Windows.
I do not use Vista.
