Greetings! I'm in the process of removing duplicate files that have amassed in my Library over the years (yes, lazy, busy). So I went to the Duplicate Files/Duplicate Content tab in the tree, and sure enough it pulled out a whole bunch of them. But, are all of the titles listed duplicates or is this just a list of All the titles? If I delete all of the listed files, amI losing my original file? I am not finding any info on this, so I dont want to delete anything until I figure out exactly what is in the list.
I also found on here that I can enable duplicate tracks to be eliminated automatically when importing from my Library. Does anyone else use this? Is it effective?
I have multiple folders of music, created over the years, that are in serious need of cleaning/organizing. I just dont have the time like I used to to do this, and I am not all that up on technology these days and certainly cant code. Are there any tools out there to help me automate the process of combing through folders and eliminating all those duplicate files?
Thanks for any help, it is much appreciated.
I'm using whatever the latest release of MM that there is. I used to play with random plugins, but I am definitely behind technologically.
