I used the registered version of perfect tunes to scan my collection of about 800 CD's. it found >5000! duplicate tracks which after examining in Jriver do not exist in reality.
How is this possible?

The files will exist, click the spanner icon (top right) then click the export button, this shows the exact files and their folder names.

It is also possible the same files are being indexed multiple times, this can happen if you have the folder:

c:\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxxx

Which points to the music on the hdd, but have also asked perfecttunes to index a network share:

\\yourcomputer\xxxxxxx\xxxxxxx

Which are the same files, but with different paths.
