Bug (or annoyance?) with drag 'n' dropping files

[therealjoeblow]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or an annoyance, but let me explain...

I have my music sorted into folders with names like "Artist - Album [Year]" (nothing peculiar about that).

Within each folder, I have the following:
-The music files (named like "## - Title.mp3), tagged
-The artwork as a standalone file named "Folder.jpg"
-A playlist of the music files named "Artist - Album [Year].m3u

...again, nothing peculiar about any of that.

Here's the annoyance...

If I start at the folder level, and select a bunch of folders and drop them into the Now Playing part of MediaMonkey, it reads all of the *.mp3 files and puts them into the list, but it also reads all of the *.m3u files, and adds another duplicate of every file.

Winamp does not do that - if it finds music files alongside playlists, it has some intelligence to not add the files that are in the playlist.

Is it possible to add this as a setting (or is it already there) in MM to ignore the playlists and not create all these dupes when dropping a bunch of folders? I'm not sure why this is even the default behavior, I personally don't see a use case where I would want to drop files and have dupes created but I might be missing something more specific that others need.

Cheers

Many thanks

Hi,
If you use My computer tree than it is designed behavior, on other hand if you add your music into MMW library and use Music -> Location -> to add tracks there will be no duplicates and M3u will be ignored.
