Questions / Re: Deleting Duplicates

« on: September 07, 2017, 11:46:04 PM »

Are these literal duplicates or just similar tracks with differences such as bitrate?  If there are differences and it's something you can sort by (or turn into a virtual tag) then you can speed the process up considerably.  Also check out highlighting rules, which can help quickly identify what you want to keep vs discard.

Hey there, would you be willing to expand on this a bit more?

I may be in a similar situation as OP.

I just move to Musicbee, lots of files.

I generally keep two copies of an album - FLAC and V0 - V0 is used for mobile.

I'd like to delete the lower bitrate duplicate - keep the FLAC.

Is this possible? Through the manage duplicates window I wasn't able to figure it out - I did create a playlist of all dups.

Maybe I could even automate it when adding new folders?

Let me know if you have anything that could be of assistance, thanks.
