Title: Duplicates
Post by: toddelving on August 07, 2014, 02:09:03 am

I have quite a large library and am wondering if there is some way I can remove the duplicates?
Does it have a file size option?

The wiki entry will work, but I think it depends a lot on file size, which can vary for a couple of reasons (eg. flac compression settings, different ripper codecs etc.

If you have a large collection, this might help you too

Code: [Select]

[Media Type]=[Audio] ~dup=[Name],[Album],[Duration] ~sort=[Filename],[Album Artist],[Album],[Track #],[Name],[Disc #],[Artist],[Bitrate] this works off of duration, and I added in album too.  In other words if you have a Best of and an original album the song will not come up as a duplicate. Remove [Album] and you can run a search just on the song name.

I use this in a view like this

You can copy code (or strings from the wiki) and click the import button after clicking set rules for file display, in case you didn't know already :) )
