    double apearances of one mp3-file

    My MP3-collection is added to dbpoweramp audioplayer's musiccollection. I've done this to organize my musiccollection.
    Those files are in the "mp3-folder" with many subfolders. Sometime i move some files or folders in the "mp3-folder".
    Every week ik add the complete "mp3-folder" to my musiccollection.
    Today i noticed that there are many double mp3-files in my collection. I suppose that after moving a file to an other folder, the adding of files causes a second song in the collection. But the old, moved file is not automaticaly deleted.
    How can i automatically let audioplayer delete not existing mp3's or double apearances in my musiccollection?

    Collection >> Highlight missing files - then sort on Icon and remove those missing.

      I believe your suggestion works. Thanks for that.

      Browsing the occurences of files in my collection i found out too that several items in the collection do double occur. Two or more items refer to the same file in the same folder. The only differences in the list is "date added"
      Can you tell me how to remove those ones too?

        When you run into these double occurrences you can right click on the duplicate tracks and select Delete. By pressing the Control button you can select multiple duplicate files at the same time to delete them.

        The real trick, of course, would be to have some way of identifying all these duplicate entries at once. I don't offhand know an elegant way to accomplish this, but perhaps another user might.

          well the "highlight misiing files" option is just what waas neccesarry in this case wasn't it? I once had a problem with double track pointing at the same file - but this another story, the PC was "under pressure" so it didn't work as it should have...
