Is there a faster way to delete duplicates than one by one? Thanks

Well I make it this way:

1. Scan For Duplicate Titles
2. Make Shure If Duplicates are Duplicates or not ie. Same Title and Artist and Duration +- 5sec. (Is Remix) If Not I Edit Title and restart from 1.
3. Sort By File Path
4. Select And delete Duplicate all files in sort. For this part I use one Dir. for all new MP3s I wanna add in my library ie. c:\NewMP3\
5. All done no Duplicates

Any Questions? :wink:

Peke, could you re-read your post and make sure it says what you mean to say. I may not be familiar enough with this program to follow your directions. If you would just proof read it one time and make any changes, I'll try to make it work this time. I just have so many dupes & different versions, I haven't been able to find a program that wasn't so time intensive to correct them all. This program somehow looks promising as far as my problem is concerned. Thanks for your time. Joe

deleting multiple files

Post by rusty »

See: http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=512 for a bit more information.

to clarify Peke's description:
1) Click Files to Edit:Duplicate Titles node (in the tree)
-->You'll see all your duplicate files
2) Sort by path (i.e. click the heading of the path column) so as to separate the files in the 'good' path from the 'bad' path(s)
3) Select all the files in the 'bad' paths and delete them
