Duplicate files listed in Library
« on: April 01, 2005, 10:05:20 am »

Everytime I scan my library for audio files, many if not all of the files are listed twice in the audio library view schemes. There are definitely not dupes of the files themselves. I have tried clearing the library an seaching for the files again, but the same thing happens, the file is listed twice. This has happened in both media jukebox and media center.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Not 100%, but it may be that you have the same file in more than one folder.
test ........... run a windows search for file type
like:=  *.mp3 set search to all drives (not a/b)
this could display amongst others:=

thiscooltune.mp3/C:\mymusic\5star rated
thiscooltune.mp3/D:\playlisted\besttunes
thiscooltune.mp3/k:\to burner
So this would display same tune three times.
next problem, one selection will not play, so you have to know which copy plays ,before you delete the other entries.   ? all the best john.

if it is in the library twice and it has the same path i would recomend you clear the library, and then re-import all again.

Save Your Play Lists, After Import, Replace Them.

Media Center Deals With This Problem Better.

Some Users Reported Years Ago This Was A Problem But I Never Seen It Happen.

I get this with MJ, but its no biggie to press delete a few times on the frst run.
