Remove dead/missing duplicates

[madmax2]

How can I

-Remove dead/missing duplicates?

I change my music folder name, now I am getting duplicates
-one file works
-one file is grayed out and not working...

Files to Edit > Dead Links in the affected Collection in the Media Tree. You can remove all listed files.

If you changed the folder name outside of MM, that is why.
If you make changes inside of MM, that shouldn't happen.

I have the same problem, and it's really annoying. Of course I changed the location of the Music folder outside of MM. It's a Windows folder, not a MM folder.

I have "Remove unavailable items" selected, but apparently that option is just for show.

[Lowlander]

That should offer to locate files when scanning the original folder (or one of its parent folders).

Of course I changed the location of the Music folder outside of MM. It's a Windows folder, not a MM folder.

If it's in the library and you change it outside of MM, that can happen (which you sound like you know).
But If by "Windows folder...not an MM folder" you mean, it's in no way associated with MM, i.e not in the library, that is very odd and should not be
showing up that way inside of MM. In this case, the only way it would show in MM is if your accessing it through My Computer in MM.

....help me out here, as I am sure I'm missing something.

I have two sometimes three duplicate files. the same song and the hard drive usage indicates there actually are files duplicated

You can try File > Locate Moved/Missing files by selecting all problem files/folders first.

If you have actual duplicate files on the PC you'll need to do duplicate management: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... ate-tracks

Why not removed dead files automatically if the folder was changed

Micromanage all these files is a PAin in the A..

Also located missing files option does not fix the issue with duplicates of missing links still showing up
I have tried it and found this to be the case.

It is issues like that stop me from using MM as my default player..

----------
Also dead links files don't become grey out till I try to play it..

There's needs to be a better option/fix to get rid of all dead links/duplicates dead links

There should be an option / menu item
-clean database of missing or dead files
MM would do a full scan, and remove all dead/missing/duplicate links..

-there should be an option to set this to a schedule
so it can autoclean upon startup, or by x hours

Look at XBMC to see what I mean

there is no dead links menu item under the EDIT menu

[MMFrLife]

Sorry you are having so much trouble.

"Dead Links" isn't under edit in the program menu at the top,
it's in the Entire Library collection under "files to edit" node.

"files to edit" node should be in any collection (if checked or shared in the tree options).

[Lowlander]

Tools > Options > Library and enable Remove unavailable items.

[madmax2]

Tools > Options > Library and enable Remove unavailable items.

This is already enabled by default..

It doesn't automatically remove the dead links...

The program does not know I have dead links until I try to play the file

[Lowlander]

They should be removed from connected drives when running a scan on the folder or one of it's parent folders or when Folder Monitoring is enabled on the folder or one of it's parent folders.
