First let me say hello to all and that this appears to be a great forum for users.
Ok, let me start by saying, Yes, I have done the research here on the duplicate questions and it is in a since confusing at times with a few workable solutions in certain objects of its use. I somewhat had this same issue with Winamp where it worked flawlessly in the early versions and after the all the new updates it became trash and unusable in may aspects, that's why I moved on to J River.
My Big question, Why have a Remove Duplicate Function in the context Menu if it doesn't do anything?
I first almost had a fit when I didn't see this feature (Function) in the normal context menu of the general music file library, and later found it is available in the playlists, however, it doesn't do anything when I Select All and try to apply it. I have a Sade Playlist that has multiple duplicates and nothing is done or anything when I select the Remove Duplicates from the context menu within the playlist.
Like many other users, I feel this is a very nice feature when it works, and is an important part of music organizing. I notice talk within some threads where the user go through steps of using the Smartlist function, however, I just wanted to make a possible request that this feature (Function) be looked at in the programming state, or at least make it work.
I'm not sure how complex the coding is to do something like this, but it appears there is conflicting use of a tool like this based on how the duplicates are perceived, executed via tag info or actual file info. in any case it would be nice if this feature is looked at in future updates.
Anyhow, thanks for reading and overall I truly love J River software over my long time use of Winamp. Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
