Probably not alone , the problem looks simple from the surface , but if you think about it "what is a duplicate" ,you can probably define one use case . But otherwise endless possibilities for bugs . For example having the same album in different releases with maybe only a comment tag as differentiator . And the fact that tagging schemes for different formats may not be exactly equivalent artist or album artist ? or what ? also LMS internal representation of data of the music is not the tags but something reduced from the tags . Could be an endless support issue this feature . Definitely not alone , I think this questions pops up around every month on this forum . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94619 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
