Media Libary Duplicates

blakeski · 24th July 2011, 05:22

Hi,

Just wanting some help, my winamp libary seems to duplicate all my songs when ever i add them into the libary. There is no duplicates in my music (as i have checked many times).

Cheers Blake.

not sure what you mean, but in prefs setup your "watch" folders and have "remove missing files" checked, then do a rescan.

Sorry let me rephase that.

When i add music from my music folder to my libary, winamp creates duplicates of the songs. I have tried removing dead files or missing files but that doesn't work. I checked through the my music folder for duplicates but there was none at all. So i don't know why when i add music to winamp it creates duplicates?
Hope that's a bit clearer.

do you have the same files in two different locations? in ML, make the "filepath" column visible and compare some dupes.
