Re: mass removal of duplicate tracks
Many of your questions, only yourself can answer because it is your own music collection. You should not delete anything until you are certain where the duplicates are from. In the de-dup program, click the spanner icon top right and see which location is being index, it should be only 1 location, no your nas drive. The 'i' info button in dedup will show where the files are located for a detected duplicate.
About album art, you can run it manually, that is for each album you click the 'fix' button next to the album, to just do that album.

mass removal of duplicate tracks
I have just run PerfectTunes for the first time. It has found a large number of duplicate tracks. Should I mass delete them? Does that mean that all the copies in the various windows are deleted, leaving one copy behind? Also, what happens with RAID backup? I was surprised that that there are so many duplicates. Is it because the back up versions are also being picked up (i.e those on the second hard disc in my NAS drive)?
A second issue relates to album art. I have gone through the process of selection album art for those that do not have any. That seems to have worked well in most cases. However, some albums have randomly been given album art for a different album. How has that happened? can I selectively correct them without running the programme again for the whole file?
Also, when I ran the search for duplicates, some have been found with different album art. How has that happened?
I would be great to get answers - and simple instructions for what to do.
Thanks
Tim
