The file server which also runs SC has music files in X:\music\ This
whole drive is shared, so the other computers see is as
\\computer_name\x\music\

In order that playlists made in winamp on my laptop could be seen by
SC, I tried having SC look at the network share rather than the local
drive. But, even when it does this and the playlists only contain
references from \\computer_name\... SC still sees a few random tracks
in X:\. Get rid of all playsists, and it does not seem to matter
whether it is pointed at the drive, or at the share, it only sees one
copy.

Moreover, the duplicate tracks do not represent what is on the
playlist, which is the really odd part. A can put a whole album on the
playlist and have only a few of the tracks show up as duplicates. 
Additionally, scan (and clear) the library twice and the duplicates are
different each time.

Really? By version 7 nobody thought to put a "only use tags" option?
The *whole point* of tags is that is makes it so that you don't need to
organize the files. They should be able to be dumped in one big
directory, or spread across the computer, or on 6 different computers,
and the library, via tags, should organize them. What is the point of
even having a relational database backend? How hard is "SELECT * FROM
DB WHERE ALBUM_TAG = 'Thriller'"?
