Ok so I finally thought I had the measure of this program and after literally hours of work I got all my albums sorted out and all was well............until now that is!

It has now in its infinite stupidity created a duplicate for every single track I have!

It has created a whole set of duplicates where the track name is now "artist name - track name"

How do I get rid of these and make sure it doesn't do it again? Have I done something wrong? If I right click and look at the source location they both point at the same file so I can't figure it out.

No it really isn't, it's the most retarded piece of software I've ever used - it just wants to do what it wants to do rather than what it should do! If this is an insight to all apple products, I'll stick with Windows! :thumbup1:

Marsdendean Use something like Foola (i think thats the name, and im sure it free)

It simply uses a drop and drag feature. Itunes does well by placing everything into albums, and you would have to do that yourself, but i found it to be the best and simple!
Yep the alternative is to switch back to Winamp or another, but in terms of doing a full sync to an iPod it does seem the best option. Plus I've invested so much time getting iTunes the way I wanted it that I don't want to give up too easily!

No it's not, I'm starting to realise that apple being simple to use is just garbage. It's only simple to use if you use it the way they want you to use it - buy music from itunes store, use itunes, and download to your ipod/iphone.

The reason why all their software is clear and bugfree, is that there's pretty much nothing in it. iTunes is a clear example of it, it has no level of intelligence whatsoever, that's why it has no realtime library update, doesn't know how to sort music, etc.

It still doesn't explain why it has doubled up my entire library, but it must have had its reasons! :laugh:
