- update to at least 6.1.2, better 6.2 beta
- do a complete rescan
- if you still have that problem with 6.2, report back
I have reported this problem a number of times. It still exists in version
6.2 as recently as the 10/20 nightly. For me the problem occurs with tracks
that are in m3u playlists created outside of slimserver (e.g., Media Center,
winamp). Basically the problem results because my music is on a server and
each of these programs use different strings to represent the same song than
does slimserver. For instance:
Slimserver - \\MEDIA-SERVER\My Music 2\Alison Brown\Stolen Moments\Alison
Brown - Angel.flac
Media Center- \\Media-server\My Music 2\Alison Brown\Stolen Moments\Alison
Brown - Angel.flac
In this case, the only difference is the case of "Media-server". Other times
drive letters will be included and other differences. I have manually edited
the m3u file and when I make I change it the file so that it is identical to
the slimserver representation, do a clear and rescan, the dublicates
disappear.
So check and see if those tracks occur in playlists. If they do look at the
track information under song info for the dublicate tracks in slimserver. If
they are different in anyway that is the problem.
I run into this problem too and have raised this [1] bug.

Personally, I can't understand why slimserver will bother reading and
processing playlist files (m3u/CUE/etc.) in the music folder. I think it
should ignore all playlist files in the music folder when scanning.
Cna anyone suggest a valid use case when slimserver might need to
process playlist files in the music folder?
