| Summary | 0021985: Running Apple Music causes duplicates | ||||
| Description | Running Apple 'Music', by default causes all tracks manually copied to the /Music directory to be duplicated at .../Music/Media.localized/ resulting in deplicates in the MMW library. I'm not sure what the best solution would be, but it might be a good idea to: - Implement 0018212 and by default exclude the /Media.localized directory - If the above is too difficult, then: - Warn users before the initial scan that: Warning! Apple Music, will by default create duplicates of Music tracks in the /Media.localized directory which will cause duplicates to appear in the MediaMonkey directory. To prevent this, in Apple Music > Music > Settings > Files: Disable both 'Keep Media folder organized' and 'Copy files to Media folder when adding to library' - Create a KB article explaining how to delete the duplicate tracks that many users will find if they even run 'Music' | ||||
