Hey all - I have a related problem that hopefully someone can shed some
light on.
So, picture the scene. I've just got my MBP, seen accessible iTunes for the
first time, accessible frontrow for the first time, and i'm in a state of
pure joy. At that moment, this machine is just a glorified talking iPod
with a remote to me haha! I then decide to import a load of albums stored
in an artist/album/track number/song title.mp3 format from my pc where I
usually use winamp. For the most part iTunes handles this well and
reorganises the files perfectly where I've deviated from the usual folder
structure, because the ID tags are accurate on all this stuff.
But, here's the issue. With some albums I'm importing, I'm getting what
seem to be duplicates of every track, usually in groups of 2 but ocasionally
I've seen 3 for each song. This is strange to me, because the same albums
had previously gone over to my iPod which relies on ID tags with no issues.
My first suspicion was that it would be because ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags were
both enabled for the songs, but after using winamp to disable the ID3V1 tags
for the affected albums, the problem still occurs. Don't get me wrong I can
go and tidy this stuff up manually, but i'd prefer not too, its a fairly big
library and in an ideal world I'd like it obsessively tidy.
Thanks in advance if anybody can help with this...
Scott
