Duplicates in Itunes but not in Beatunes
Hi, I used Beatunes to clean up my duplicates and delete then. It work well and delete a couple gigs on my hard drive. Then when I use the show duplicates option in Itunes I get a list of 6000 files, a lot of them have the same filename and same path with a 1 at the end of it:
Let It Be.mp3
Let It Be 1.mp3
When inspecting the library, they don't show up in the Beatunes' duplicates, any idea what is wrong?

Hi,
to detect more duplicates, please run the MusicIP Analysis task on your whole library. Configure it so that it only imports PUIDs, but does not change any data. Then run the duplicates inspection again and more songs should show up.
Please let me know how that worked.
Thanks,

I also am experiencing the duplicate phenomenon whereby iTunes has duplicated everything, adding a "1" at the end. Is there a way to find every file with a "1" at the end, and then get rid of it? I tried the option that keeps the file that was added first, thinking that the file with "1" must have come later, but it sometimes doesn't work that way.

Currently, beaTunes can only detect duplicates with different names, when the PUID is available and identical for both songs.
I hope to improve this behavior in the future.
