False "Duplicate" status obstructs Sync
Alex B:
It's easy.
1. Add a calculated library field with the expression:
2. Create a smartlist that lists the duplicate values in that field:
You must to create a new library field because the smartlist system is not designed to be able to access the more or less temporary expression columns that exist only in some of the list views.

I'd really like an answer to this. Thanks.

Probably I will never try to sync both tracks, but I may add some additional info to the name tags because it would be good to know what is different in these two tracks.

Note that the tags will not then be "correctly" filled as per your definition. I would dearly like a workaround that does NOT require tags to be kluged.

You've got to wonder why duplicate detection ignores Disc#...
Neco:
I kind of have this same problem.. So far its just 3 duplicates in the sync list that I can tell.
the ONLY similarities in the tags are the Album Name, Artist/Album Artist, Genre Tag, etc.. Pretty much stuff that is supposed to be the same across files in a set.
File Names are all unique, Tagged track names, disc numbers, and tracks numbers are all unique.
What's puzzling me is there is not a real easy way to see what the other file it is matching, is. I.E if you're going to mark a file as a Duplicate, would be nice to have the popup give the filename of the "other" file it is supposedly a duplicate of, and its location on disk.
I'll try and find some time to setup this special Filter and View posted above and see if I can figure out the cause... maybe I'll find some useful info.

Filenames and disc numbers are ignored. But Track names and track numbers are not and should be sufficient to avoid duplicate status.
