Double songs and albums on LMS

[uncletoma]

Hi all.
When i search a song or an album on my player (Squeezelite-X) i've, often, a lot of double.
When i look for properties of doubles, i see that one is correctly stored on external hard drive where i put my music, and the other one on the older location folder, that is still alive.
But on LMS control panel the only folders that it must scan are located on E:\

(for example: one is on E:\Lossless and the another one is on G:\Lossless)
but i can see other music folder, those who doesn't have to scan, under Disks and Folders.
But i cannot understand: how LMS see folders that it must not scans?
(before posting i perform a search for another similar thread can help me, the only one is really old and not useful).
(don't answer me to delete old folders: no, thanks )
Thanks in advance

Do a Full Clear & Rescan

Could be your playlists' paths are pointing to the old location on drive G ?

I did it, and i did a clean reinstall

playlist scan is disable and, no, all playlists, and all m3u and cue files that i've have not any kind of path

If you use cue files, when you see double files - do both file have the same audio format ? or is one a cur type ?

If you have a playlist folder configured I don't see how you can disable a playlist scan.

If you drill down to track level you can see it's location, are both copies pointing to the same file location?

It's simple, i open all my 6 playlists, perform a search for G:/ (it's an example) and all playlist have only E: (etc) files

All cue, but i deleted (after a backup) all cue and m3u files (except files on playlists folder), i disabled scan for m3u and cue files but... the problem is still here.

Didn't answer my question. The track files (not m3u, not cue) which are doubled. What audio formats does LMS show then the double files having ? (e.g. mp3, flac, alac, ogg, cur) ?

Flac, maybe some dsf, but my collection is 95% flac based, few ape, few wavepack, and some dsd files.
BTW according with this topic i opened library file and i saw a lot of not E:\ entries, so now i'm trying to delete them.


I deleted library.db, performed a new full scan and... nothing, the problem remain the same

I solved it in a hard way: i deleted (after a backup) all files and folders on %ProgramData%, performed a new scan (i need to choose again all folders on Library tab), restore all part of %ProgramData% about plug-ins and... at least it works really fine.
