    Multible files of the same song in Windows Media Player
    « on: June 28, 2011, 06:49:11 AM »
    Can someone tell me why I'm seeing multiple files of the same songs in the Window 7 Media Player list? I've checked the Windows Explorer and there are no multiple files of the same songs. I'm also currently using Zune and Frostwire.

    It appears that every time I plug in a Flash drive with music on it into a USB port and choose to play with WMP I can see the song titles generate multiple files in the WMP view.

      Thanks for the information but I know how to delete them I was just wondering what causes that to happen.

        You can search the Microsoft site nor more posts about the Duplication of Songs. But the never admit it is a bug. It is a feature.

        That's very good information. I tried it and it corrected the issue with WMP. Thank you very much.
