I recently bought a NAS and copied my FLAC files from a music dedicated laptop to the NAS. I then deleted these FLAC files from the laptop, so the laptop has just the OS and MC19 now. And yes, I already owned a mirrored NAS for back-up purposes which remains and is in use.
I pointed MC19 to the new library location and I now have two copies of each song showing up in MC19. Each album folder contains two copies of each song. When I go to the NAS, there is but one copy of each song within an album folder.
What did I do?

Look at the Filepath column in the Files view, for any track and its mate.

Thanks. It lists the same file path three different ways:
W:\ (the drive name)
10.0.0.21 (the IP address)
NAS-17-B2-14 (the host name of the NAS used by the NAS SW)
These are all pointing to the same location.
Maybe delete this library and start over?
-
Those three are *different* paths, to the same file, and hence the problem.
Configure Auto-Import to only use one of these paths. Use either a Windows drive path (local or mapped network), or a UNC path (e.g. \\server\path\to\files). Tools > Import > Configure Auto-Import...
Then, sort by Filename and select all the path entries you don't want and hit Delete (using the first option in the dialog).

Thanks. Did all the above and I am all set. The library, images and Auto-Import all are directed to the same path.
Doesn't matter I guess how I did this - it is fixed!
