Remove duplicates from a playlist?

Post by OliverBradley »

Media Monkey 4 comes with a script to remove duplicates from a playlist. It matches duplicates by artist and title and does not require them to have the same filename. This is very useful for large playlists which may contain the same track from multiple albums.
MM5 doesn't have this script. Has someone have already written one that might be available, perhaps for a contribution? Or is there any documentation on writing scripts? I am familiar with JavaScript but not with the MM5 object model. Thanks!

MediaMonkey can help with removing duplicates (same song, different files) from the Library, but not duplicates (different files) from Playlists.

The second post from the top of this forum has more on scripting with MediaMonkey 5, and you can always ask specific questions in this forum.
