permanent duplicate file removal

[mccawgomets]

does anyone know if the script for duplicate file removal has the
option to remove from library AND file folder? Or will this script
only delete the file from the library?

It only deletes files if the files are identical copies, with names
like:

foofile.mp3
foofile 1.mp3
foofile 2.mp3

Thanks. So if the files are not identical they are removed from the
library only? Or they have to be exact to be removed period?

Also, I ran the program last night. During the duplicate removal
process I scrolled to the top just to look at how long the list of
removed files was. The process then stopped and at the bottom there
was a message that said to exit press enter. The last noted file that
was removed was still in the 1000's somewhere so I know there were
more to remove. I exited and tried to rerun the program. Each time I
get a message that says to include "temporary playlists" for the
program to run more quickly..............I've tried a few times since
including "temporary playlists" and continue to not only get the same
message, but each time I try, an additional "temporary playlist" is
added to itunes. I tried deleting all the "temporary playlists" and
yet the same message occurs.

When entering the playlist number followed by comma, do you need to
put a space before the next playlist number entered? I tried with and
without to no avail. My initial scan (the one I apparently interupted
by scrolling to the top) the only playlist I entered was the "music"
playlist (the entire music library) and it seemed to be chugging right
along fine. Didn't ask for any "temporary playlist" initially.

Hope I gave you clear enough information for you to give me guidance.


Thanks, Mike
