Here I am with I guess the same problem? My system is Windows 7 Premium 32
What I did wrong. I have a persistent problem with my CD/DvD unit. Every once in a while, it reports errors when ripping a disc. Not like there is something wrong with the disc.
Using device manager to uninstall and reinstall won't cure it. I have to physically unplug it from the system, start it up, turn it off, plug it back in, and it seems to run fine for some time. Have tried a new unit, and it repeated the problem. Tried both units in another desktop, no problem. Fee; ;ole dealing with the HAL 9000 from the 2001:A Space Odyssey move.
Anyway, I just figured I did not have the time to take out the unit, and ripped about 12 albums on another desktop, transferred the files to a thumb drive, plugged that into
my music desktop, used the add/scan option on the MM to the flash drive and added. Then realized my mistake. The files that MM would look for were in that flash drive. So, I copied the files, and added them to my particular music hard drive.
Now, my mistake. I used MM to add/rescan on the entire hard drive. Now I have duplicates all over the place. I am running the MM>duplicates right now, but that is a very long process on at least a terrabyte of music. Any other solution? I refuse to sit down and go through every single entry. Also, I am not looking to get rid of "ghost" entries. They are on another two hard drives that are not in the system.
