Newly added duplicate drive path for every song

[toxicsludge]

I haven't opened MM in several months. When I opened it this morning, it duplicated every song with the Drive Path Label. Instead of 10,000 songs, I now have 20,000 songs. I haven't changed any settings.

How can I get rid of all these duplicates? I notice the tree shows two locations. One is F: [Media Monkey] and another is [Media Monkey]. I prefer to just keep file path.

Remove the F: [Media Monkey] files (check Added first, it should be newer than [Media Monkey] files), then re-assign drive on the [Media Monkey] files.

The help text at Lowlander's reference to re-assign drive may not be immediately helpful because you will not find the path Collections > Locations in the media tree at left of the MM screen. This confusion arises because MM help uses the word "Collections" as shorthand for "highest level entries in the media tree", without actually explaining its use of the term.

What you will actually see in the media tree at left is Entire Library and Main Music, both of which are "Collections", along with a bunch of others.

So, click on either Entire Library or Main Music and look for Location at bottom - ie Entire Library > Location or Main Music > Location - which will show you a list of the accessible drives. Right clicking on the drive of interest will give you the Media Properties control needed to update the drive ID.

Cheers, Matt

Thanks for the help. Deleting the duplicated "Location" did the trick. I'll know what to do if it comes back!
