Cheers for this solution i will give it a go. Though my music is all just in the My Music folder within the d: drive, and i don't use any other programs other than iTunes. I will also have a look at the track info for some of the duplicated tracks and see if that is where the duplication is coming from. -- meryvn _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
